Chapter: CHAPTER 130: CHANDELIERS“You looking for Derek?” Matilda’s voice cut through the line, amused.“Give him the phone,” Asher said flatly as Matilda laughed sarcastically. “I hope you have not done anything stupid.”“You know what...” Matilda began.“You listen to me woman," Asher cut in, his tone turning lethal. "If anything happens to Derek, I will make sure you savor the sweetness of your miserable death.”Matilda laughed again, unbothered. “He’s already swimming,” she said lightly. “In the pool of his blood.”Silence stretched between them, heavy and cold. Asher’s jaw tightened.“Brace yourself up,” Asher said quietly. “Because I’m definitely coming for you, no matter where you run to.”“There will be no need for that, Capo Nero,” she muttered under her breath, the edge sharp, and for a long beat, the line went quiet.“Do you know his last words?” Matilda added, her voice almost playful, the metallic crack of a gun echoing over the phone. Asher’s eyes flicked to Caleb, his grip on the phone tightening.“Bro

Chapter: CHAPTER 129: ROSES AND THORNS“I swear, baby,” Derek said quickly, voice breaking as he took a cautious step and then froze. “I love you, with all of...” “Don’t you dare,” Matilda cut in, rage vibrating through every word as her finger tightened against the trigger guard. “Really?” she continued, her eyes flickering away for a split second before snapping back to him. “Because of you, I haven’t spoken to my son for days. All of it, all I endured, because I thought I found love.” She swallowed, her chest rising sharply. “You will leave this moment, and I don’t ever want to see you again.” Derek nodded quickly, relief flashing across his face as he stepped back. “Okay. Okay.” “Or maybe no,” Matilda said, her voice hardening as her grip steadied. “No more with your trophy lines.” The gun fired, sharp and final, and Derek shuddered once before folding to the floor. Blood spread beneath him, darkening the ground as the room fell into a stunned quiet. Matilda dropped to her knees beside him, the gun slippin

Chapter: CHAPTER 128: HEY BOYS !✦THAT NIGHT✦Bugatti Chiron Profilée came to a slow, quiet stop before the gates, its engine settling into silence as the lights washed over stone, glass, water, and terraces that seemed to stretch toward the sea itself.Asher and Caleb stepped out first, the door closing behind them, their shoes touching the paved drive as they lifted their head and took in the mansion before them. Caleb's breath caught for a moment.Henry and Keith exited from opposite sides of a Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta, both pausing mid step as their eyes lifted at the same time. Their attention moved from the long reflecting pools to the layered balconies, the palms lit from below, the wide staircases opening toward the water. Their expressions shifted in quiet disbelief, brows drawing together, mouths parting slightly as they tried to take it all in without saying a word.Caleb stood frozen, eyes fixed on the mansion as though it might vanish if he blinked. His chest rose once, then again, slower the second tim

Chapter: CHAPTER 127: LOVE ONCE MORE✦TWO DAYS LATER✦◈JONATHAN SINCLAIR'S HOUSE◈“You think you can keep him under your control forever?” Asher said calmly, each word deliberate and heavy. "After killing his parents."Vivian laughed, brittle and forced. “You think you can just take him? He is not yours. I'm his stepmom.”Asher stepped closer, his presence filling the space. “You should be thankful you are still breathing.”“I am not afraid of you,” Vivian said, her voice steady and unwavering.“You should be,” Asher said lethally, stepping back to leave room for the authorities. “Your time here is over.”Vivian’s breath hitched as she noticed uniformed men walking toward her, their eyes locked on her with unflinching authority.******◈MICHAEL' S MOM HOUSE◈Michael entered the house, the silence pressing against his ears, broken only by soft moans that drifted from the bedroom. He froze, heart thudding, each step slow as he got to the door. He reached for the handle, his fingers brushing the cold metal, and pushed the d

Chapter: CHAPTER 126: SILENT GOODBYE [2]"Don't you ever," Jonathan shouted, his hand shooting to his chest as a sudden surge of fire and ice coursed through him. His knees gave way and he sank toward the floor, gasping, each breath slicing through him with violent pain.Matilda dropped to her knees beside him, shaking as she caught him, holding him tightly so he would not fall. Her face pressed against his, she cried, “Jonathan! Stay with me, please! Don’t you dare leave me like this!” she cried, her voice breaking as she pressed him against her, murmuring his name over and over.Keith bolted from the hallway, fear etched across his small face as he ran toward them. “Dad! Dad, stay awake!” His little hands gripped Jonathan’s arms as his eyes filled with terror, watching his father unmoving in Matilda’s arms.Matilda pressed her face against Jonathan’s chest, trembling. "Keith, call someone, please, call for help now."Keith’s hands shook as he grabbed Jonathan's phone from the table, fumbling to dial. The call went through

Chapter: CHAPTER 125: SILENT GOODBYE [1]✦A YEAR AGO✦Emily’s hands shook as she tore open the envelope, the paper creasing beneath her fingers. She stepped into the living room as she unfolded it, her eyes scanning the page before freezing on the words confirming Vivian’s pregnancy. The room seemed to tilt. Her breath caught, her steps slowing, the paper trembling as the truth settled into her chest.Her fingers clenched around it. “How could you?” she whispered, her voice breaking, anger and disbelief folding into each other until neither could stand alone.Jonathan appeared in the doorway and stopped when he saw her. “My love,” he said softly.Emily struck the envelope into his chest. He caught it instinctively, holding it there as he looked down, confusion crossing his face. He opened it, his eyes moving quickly over the page, then back to her. The color drained from his face.“Emily…” His voice shook as he stepped toward her, his hand lifting, stopping short. “Please. I can explain.”“From Vivian,” she said, tears spill

Chapter: DAMON VERCELLI"My boy…" he said through strained breath, his eyes locking onto Damon before shifting briefly to Alejandro who stood beside him with a lethal stillness, then back to Damon. "What have you become?""To finish what you started," Damon replied, his voice cold and controlled as anger stayed buried beneath it while silence stretched between them and his hand lowered slightly. "You ruined my family. You killed my father… took my sister."Vincent laughed as he straightened slightly, his eyes fixed on Damon as the sound cut through the room."Enzo," Vincent said slowly, disappointment threading his voice as his gaze sharpened. "No… you are here to finish what your foolish father started.""Don't you dare..." Damon started, his voice breaking into anger as his grip tightened."Yes, I took her," Vincent cut in, Alejandro's chin lifting slightly as his gaze stayed locked on him. "And I would do it again."A shot rang out and Vincent's body jerked back into the seat as breath tore from him and b

Chapter: THE RETURN OF CAMELADamon stood facing the window as Alejandro's hand wrapped softly around him from behind, his gaze remaining fixed beyond the estate."Alejandro," he said quietly as he rested his head lightly against his back."I thought this was the face you've wanted to see," he said softly, and Damon turned slowly, his attention shifting past him before he suddenly went still. His gaze locked on Camela as tears gathered in his eyes before he glanced back at Alejandro for a brief moment and returned his attention to Camela."Damon," Camela breathed as she took slow steps toward him. Damon moved toward her, a faint smile breaking through him as they met halfway and the moment she reached him she broke into his arms, holding him tightly as her body shook.Damon wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. They remained like that until her breathing began to settle, then eased back slightly, just enough to see each other properly while silence held between them.Damon lifted both hands to her face

Chapter: NO ESCAPE FOR MARTINAMartina Ravecca drove without easing her grip on the wheel, the black Maserati Levante cutting through the empty road as the night stretched ahead in long, broken silence, her eyes flicking once to the rearview mirror before returning forward as a faint shift from the back confirmed Camela was still there."Stay quiet back there," Martina muttered under her breath as she adjusted her speed, the Maserati surging forward while a black Mercedes closed distance behind her with persistence, its headlights locking onto her path as the faint struggle from the rear gradually faded into tense stillness.Ahead, the road bent into a narrower passage between industrial fencing and abandoned structures, and Martina pushed into it as the Mercedes followed until she glanced into the mirror again and noticed it falling back, her eyes narrowing briefly at the change before her attention snapped forward.Martina noticed too late as a Range Rover Sentinel slid into view ahead and cut the road cleanly, f

Chapter: LORENZO ! LORENZO !Gunfire broke through the facility in controlled bursts as Enzo's men collapsed into formation and Damon's forces pushed the perimeter inward.Alejandro moved through the chaos without breaking rhythm, chakrams leaving his hand in precise arcs that split the air in three distinct paths before impact landed almost simultaneously, one cutting through a man's throat, another striking the forehead, and the third embedding into the chest of a guard who never even finished raising his weapon while Damon's men advanced behind him to secure what he had already cleared.The last of Enzo's perimeter fell silent under the weight of scattered bodies and fractured gunfire, leaving only the echo of footsteps and distant mechanical hum as Enzo stepped out from the inner corridor, clapping slowly as though observing a performance that belonged entirely to him."Perfetto," Enzo said as his hands came together again in a slow clap that echoed through the space while he tilted his head slightly toward t

Chapter: THE THIRD COORDINATE◈DAMON'S EMPIRE◈"You found something," Damon said as Alejandro stood in front of the open file projection, the screen glow cutting across his face while his gaze remained fixed on a fragmented coordinate buried inside a dead agent's final recovered log."Yeah. Marco gave me access to everything I needed," he replied without turning as his focus stayed locked on the data while his fingers hovered over the marked maritime trace.Damon stepped closer behind him, his attention dropping to the screen over his shoulder as he traced the hidden route line embedded in discontinued offshore routing records that should not have been active."I'm listening," he said, his voice lower now, controlled but sharpened as he closed the distance slightly behind him without breaking focus on the screen."You're right. Camela is alive," Alejandro said as the words settled cleanly between them."There is a structured extraction corridor tied to your father's offshore network," he continued as his voice rem

Chapter: THE SEALED FILESHe moved toward the conference wing while ignoring the glances that followed him and the brief hesitation in movement whenever someone recognized his return.In the briefing room, Agent Bianchi was mid-report when he entered, "We still don't have confirmation on the offshore link and if we proceed without..." his voice breaking as the door closed behind him while all attention in the room shifted toward his presence.Alejandro hesitated briefly before rising from his chair while Marco Conti was already moving toward the door.Luca watched him for a second before lowering his eyes to the table as he followed Marco Conti from the room while conversations failed to restart behind them.Neither spoke as they moved through the corridor, Marco Conti leading the way while agents stepped aside at his approach and Alejandro followed a pace behind him until he pushed open the door to his office and entered first, waiting for him to step inside before closing it behind them.Silence stretched be
