The air smelled of wood polish and ink, heavy with the anticipation of what was to come. Amira sat tall in the second row, her black suit crisp, and her hair pinned neatly at the nape of her neck as two of her guards stood by the door. She forced her face to remain calm even though her pulse hammered in her throat. Beside her, Enzo leaned forward, his dark eyes tracking every flicker of movement at the front. In the absence of Montez, his presence had become a constant in the weeks of hearings. Loyal, protective, and never once letting her walk into the courtroom without his support. On the other side of the aisle sat the defendants. Alessandro, expressionless in his navy suit, as though he still bel
The week after the bloody confrontation outside the first gala passed in a blur of headlines, hospital visits, and whispered speculation. Amira and Montez refused to let the chaos tear them apart. Instead, they clung tighter. The world saw them together again, arriving hand in hand, shielding each other from every storm. Tonight, Montez was hosting a second high-profile gala at the glass-domed Solara Grand, a dazzling spectacle designed to calm the board and reassure shareholders that his empire remained unshaken. Glittering chandeliers bathed the hall in golden light. Cameramen and journalists crowded the red carpet, their flashes like a constant barrage.

Yet outside, in the shadows beyond the grand marble steps, a darker story unfolded. Amira had slipped away, desperate for a moment of air. The crowd, the lights, and the confrontation were already weighing on her. She pulled her coat tighter against the cold night and hurried down the steps, her heels clicking sharply. Her mission here was done so she had no reason to stay or even— That was when a hand snatched her arm, yanking her out of her path and thoughts. She gasped in fright. “Going somewhere, Amira?” Nathan’s voice was a hiss in her ear. She jerked, eyes wide. “Let m
The gala glittered beneath chandeliers dripping with crystals, their light refracting into shards across the marble floor. The Vitalio Mansion’s ballroom had been transformed into a spectacle of wealth and control. Waiters floated past with trays of champagne, photographers clicked relentlessly at every corner, and the air buzzed with money, ambition, and something else: expectation. For Montez, this night was supposed to restore his empire’s dignity. Suits whispered of stability, of contracts renewed and investors reassured. Yet beneath his immaculate tuxedo and cool demeanor, his gut was taut as a wire. He knew his enemies would not waste such an opportunity.
