Chapter 48

Valencia’s POV

The heels of my shoes felt like stilts as I breached the threshold of the manor, my lungs burning from the sprint across the lawn. I didn't stop until I was inside my suite, the heavy oak door clicking shut with a finality that felt like a tomb.

I was shaking. Not from the cold, and not from the fear of Antonio, but from the terrifyingly familiar gravity of Akeem’s gaze. He was a predator who had looked at me and seen the blood on my hands, yet instead of recoiling, he

  • From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance    The Prince of Puppets

    Chapter 75The silence that followed Jax’s revelation was thicker than the stone walls of the mansion. I stared at him, my mind refusing to bridge the gap between the nerdy, tech-obsessed Jax I had met in the mountain and the regal, predatory figure sitting on that throne. He looked at home in the velvet. He looked at home in power.“You’re looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost, Valencia,” Jax said, his voice smooth as silk. “But I’m very much alive. More alive than Silas, certainly. And far more capable than Akeem.”“You orchestrated it,” I whispered, the realization hitting me like a physical blow. “The video. Lady Catherine. You made me think she was alive.”Jax threw his head back and laughed, a rich, melodic sound that chilled me to the bone. “Oh, V. It was so easy. A little deep-fake technology, a few timed triggers in the Titan satellite network, and you were running exactly where I needed you to go. Did you really think that old woman was capable of recording a message from t

  • From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance    The Crown and the Cage

    Chapter 74“I have the coordinates,” Maria said, her fingers blurring across the surface of a sleek, holographic tablet. The blue light cast sharp, skeletal shadows across her face, making her look less like a woman and more like a ghost of the war she had just described. “The ping is steady. They aren't running, Valencia. They’re sitting at the Kantonalbank branch on the edge of the village, waiting for the digital ink to dry.”“Let them have it,” I snapped, my voice trembling with a cocktail of exhaustion and fury. I looked toward the stairs where Mia was finally resting. “It’s a million dollars. In the Titan vault, that’s pocket change. Maria, look at where we are. We have a fortress. We have the Silver Veil. We have a chance to breathe. Why are we chasing ghosts three blocks away?”“Because that ghost has your biometric signature,” Maria hissed, standing up. Her cold, professional mask didn't slip; it hardened. “If they can take a million, they can take it all. They can lock you

  • From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance    The Fortress of Shadows

    Chapter 73The hum of the Gulfstream’s engines was the only thing cutting through the deafening silence of the cabin. I sat huddled in the leather seat, staring at the screen of the Titan phone until the image of Lady Catherine burned into my retinas. “She’s watching, Maria,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pressurized air. “She’s not just alive. She’s watching the fallout. She knew exactly when Silas’s heart would stop.”Maria didn’t look up from her console. “She is a Blackwood, Valencia. They don't just leave legacies; they leave traps.”“‘You’ve only inherited the throne,’” I repeated, glancing at Mia, who was asleep in the adjacent seat. “What throne? I destroyed the mountain. I locked the cages. There is no throne left.”“The throne isn't a chair in a mountain, child,” Maria said, finally meeting my gaze. “It’s the Titan system. It’s the billions in untraceable assets. It’s the power to end wars or start them. And right now, it’s pulsing inside your veins.”“I don

    Chapter 72Valencia’s POVThe weight of the detonator in my hand felt like holding the heart of a dying star. It was cold, heavy, and pulsing with a terrifying potential. Around us, the server room hummed with the frantic whine of cooling fans struggling against the rising heat of the facility’s failing systems. “You have five minutes before the Rossi men find this sub-level,” Maria hissed, her eyes darting to the monitor banks. “Take Mia. There is a tunnel behind the main rack that leads to the northern ridge. It’s a steep climb, but you’ll be out before the mountain settles.”I looked at the red toggle switch, then back at the door we had just come through. The sounds of gunfire and screaming echoed from the vents above.“I can’t go,” I whispered, my voice sounding strange to my own ears. Stronger. Sharper.“Valencia, don't be a martyr,” Maria snapped, grabbing my shoulder. “The goal was to get you out!”“It’s not about being a martyr,” I said, shaking her off. I looked at Mia, wh

  • From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance    The Sacrifice of the Wallflower

    Chapter 71The screech of tortured metal was the last warning we had before the doors to the central hub were blown inward. Smoke, thick and smelling of cordite, billowed into the corridor, lit by the rhythmic, hellish strobe of the red emergency lights.Through the haze, he appeared. Antonio Rossi.He looked like a man who had crawled through the pits of Gehenna to reach this mountain. His suit was torn, his face mapped with fresh scars, but his eyes, those dark, calculating pits of Florentine cruelty were as sharp as the day I’d first met him. He stepped over the debris, his golden Desert Eagle held with a casual, terrifying familiarity. Behind him, a phalanx of men in tactical gear fanned out, their rifles sweeping the room."Valencia," Antonio rasped. The sound of my name in his throat felt like a noose tightening."Stay back!" Akeem’s voice cracked. He stepped out from the observation deck, his own weapon shaking in his hand. "Antonio, we had an understanding! I delivered the Bl

  • From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance    The Lazarus Contract

    Chapter 70Valencia’s POVThe drive north was a descent into a different kind of hell. Gone was the blinding, artificial brilliance of the Ibiza villa. In its place was the suffocating mist of the Asturias mountains, where the jagged limestone peaks were perpetually cloaked in grey, rain-heavy clouds.Akeem hadn't spoken since we left the coast. He sat in the back of the armored transport, watching me with that new, terrifyingly still gaze. Mia was curled against my side, her breathing shallow, her small face pale against the dark leather. We weren't a family on a journey; we were assets in transit."You think I'm the monster for keeping him alive," Akeem said suddenly, his voice cutting through the hum of the tires like a cold blade. "But you don't understand the Titan codes, Valencia. Silas didn't just build an empire; he built a digital vault that controls every Rossi offshore account, every Blackwood logistics route, every drop of blood-money in Europe. And he locked it behind a
