Seven years ago, Camille Navarro walked away from the only man she had ever loved carrying a secret she swore she would protect at all costs. Their daughter. Now one of the country's most respected family lawyers, Camille has built her life on control, precision, and never letting emotions interfere with the law. No one knows about the little girl at the center of her world - and she intends to keep it that way. Until the day she walks into court and finds Gabriel De Vera standing at opposing counsel's table. Successful. Brilliant. Unreadable. And completely unaware he's already a father. As a high-profile annulment case forces them back into each other's lives, old wounds begin reopening beneath polished arguments and courtroom tension. Gabriel can't understand why Camille disappeared without explanation years ago. Camille can't risk letting him get too close - not when one look at her daughter could unravel everything she sacrificed to protect. But secrets don't stay buried forever. Especially when a child with Gabriel's eyes starts asking questions neither of them are ready to answer. In a world where every word can become evidence and every truth has consequences, Camille and Gabriel are about to learn that the hardest case they'll ever face... is each other. Because some love stories never truly end. They just wait for the right verdict.

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
