Camilla’s mind was set. Marco had betrayed her in the most brutal way possible, and she wouldn’t let it slide. She had built this empire from nothing, fought tooth and nail to gain a seat at the table, and now Marco wanted to tear it all down. Not on her watch.The night was her ally as she moved through the estate, her footsteps silent, a sharp contrast to the roaring storm inside her. The estate, once her sanctuary, felt like a cage now—its lavish halls and gilded corners were a reminder of everything that had been built on lies. Marco’s lies.She didn’t know where Riccardo had gone, but right now, she didn’t care. She didn’t need him. She didn’t need anyone. She had always been able to rely on herself, and she would do so again.Her steps carried her to the library, where she’d spent countless hours in the past, pouring over documents, making plans, learning how to navigate the treacherous waters of the criminal underworld. The scent of aged paper and leather filled the air as she

Camilla’s mind raced as she stared at Riccardo, the weight of his words sinking in. She had trusted him, believed in him, and now he was telling her she had no idea who the real enemy was. The room felt suffocating, the air thick with tension as she searched his face for any hint of deception. But his expression was unreadable—cold, almost distant.“What are you talking about?” Camilla asked, her voice a mixture of disbelief and anger. “Who’s been pulling the strings? Cane’s been our enemy from the start, Riccardo. Who else could there be?”Riccardo took a slow step toward her, his gaze unwavering. “You still don’t see it, do you?” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “The person you’ve been fighting against all this time wasn’t just Cane. It was someone closer to you—someone you thought was on your side.”Camilla’s heart skipped a beat, the blood draining from her face. A thousand possibilities flashed through her mind, but one name stood out. She tried to shake the thought away, bu

Camilla’s pulse pounded in her ears as she made her way down the corridor, the weight of betrayal heavy in her chest. She could feel the walls closing in on her, the estate that she had once ruled now feeling like a prison. Her empire—her hard-won kingdom—was under siege, and the very people she had entrusted with its protection were the ones who had turned against her.The thought churned in her stomach, twisting in knots of rage and disbelief. How long had they been working with Cane? How many times had they smiled in her face, whispered loyalty in her ear, all the while plotting her downfall? The question burned in her mind, but it was a luxury she couldn’t afford to dwell on.She reached the estate’s grand hall, where she knew the remaining loyal men were holding the line. She had to act fast—there was no room for hesitation now. With Cane’s forces infiltrating the compound, every second counted. But the betrayal that lurked within her own ranks threatened to unravel everything.L

The battle for the estate had turned into a brutal, bloody warzone. The sounds of gunfire and explosions filled the air, echoing throughout the sprawling grounds. Camilla stood at the heart of it all, moving with precision, her mind calculating every step as though she were playing a high-stakes game of chess.Her team was well-prepared—trained to respond to any threat—but this was different. Cane’s forces were relentless, and his men had infiltrated more than one layer of security. It wasn’t just an attack—it was a full-scale assault, one meant to crush her and her empire.As the fight raged on, Camilla’s thoughts remained sharp. She wasn’t just defending the estate; she was fighting for her life, for everything she had worked for, for the future she’d been building. She couldn’t afford to lose—not when everything was on the line.Riccardo had been eerily silent throughout the chaos. She hadn’t seen him since the initial attack had started. Camilla’s gut twisted in anticipation as th

The battle at the warehouse had been won, but Camilla knew that it wasn’t a victory. It was merely the opening salvo in a war that was only just beginning. Cane wouldn’t take this defeat lightly—she knew him well enough by now. He was ruthless, strategic, and calculating, and he would retaliate in ways she couldn’t yet predict.The tension in the air around the estate was palpable. Every person working under her had seen the stakes increase, and Camilla could feel the weight of their expectations. She wasn’t just fighting for herself anymore—she was fighting for everyone who had put their faith in her. And the consequences of losing were too great to fathom.Riccardo had been strangely quiet since the warehouse attack. Camilla had noticed it, though she didn’t comment on it. He had become more withdrawn, even as he continued his regular business dealings. She wondered if it was his own way of dealing with the escalating conflict, or if there was something more—something she hadn’t yet

The weeks that followed were filled with tension. Camilla could feel the undercurrent of change rippling through the empire, as if every decision she made was building toward a storm. The whispers of Darius Cane’s involvement were growing louder, and every night she lay awake, staring at the ceiling, wondering what his next move would be. It wasn’t just about power anymore—it was about survival.Riccardo had kept his distance at times, his instincts telling him to give Camilla space to learn the ropes of her new role.

The more confident she became, the more dangerous she was to the world around her.But Riccardo wasn’t the only one watching. Darius Cane was out there, lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike.Camilla was seated in her private office, a glass of red wine resting on the
