From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Gravity of Shadows
Chapter 60Valencia’s POVAkeem’s laughter was a low, resonant sound, a victory march played on a cello. He didn't just stand; he surged upward, his hand closing over mine with a grip that felt like a brand. He didn't look like a guard anymore. He looked like a man who had just stolen a goddess from the gates of hell."I knew you were smart, Valencia," he whispered, his eyes searching mine with a terrifying, hungry heat. "But I’m glad you’re finally being wise."He turned to the darkness and let out a sharp, two-tone whistle. From the thicket of cypress trees, a rugged, silver SUV rolled forward, its engine a hushed growl. No lights. Just a ghost moving through the trees."Get in," Akeem commanded, sliding into the driver’s seat. I scooped Mia up. She felt heavier now, burdened by the confusion of the night, but she didn't cry. She watched Akeem with those wide, observant eyes. Maria didn't hesitate; she took the front passenger seat, her hand never leaving the suppressed submachine
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Chapter 59Valencia’s POVThe night air was a cold, stagnant weight, smelling of wet earth and the metallic tang of my own fear. I stood on that dead strip of tarmac, the ruins of my phone scattered at my feet like the fragments of my future. My daughter’s small hand was a trembling anchor in mine, and Maria was a statue of defeated steel beside me.Then there was Akeem.He stood bathed in the pale, sickly light of the moon, looking less like a bodyguard and more like a god of ruined things. The smug curve of his lips was a blade, twisting in the wound Silas had already opened."Stranded?" he asked again, his voice a low, melodic rumble that seemed to vibrate through the very soles of my feet.I didn't answer immediately. I shifted, moving Mia slightly behind the line of my hip, my fingers brushing the cold grip of the silenced pistol tucked into my waistband. I was a Titan. I was a monster. But standing on this empty runway, I felt like a ghost.Akeem took a step forward, his shadow
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance Escape Gone Wrong!
Chapter 58Valencia’s POVThe echoes of the decanter hitting Antonio’s temple still vibrated in my wrists as I ran. The air in the hallway felt thinner now, as if the manor itself were gasping for breath, dying along with the Rossi legacy. I didn't care. I didn't care about the gold leaf on the walls or the blood on the floor. I only cared about the heartbeat waiting for me at the end of the north wing.I burst into the nursery, my chest heaving. The room was bathed in the soft, amber glow of a nightlight, smelling of lavender and the innocent scent of childhood that I had fought so hard to reclaim."Valencia!" Mia scrambled up from her small desk, her eyes bright with a manic, creative energy. She looked like a tiny bird, fragile yet resilient. In her hands, she clutched a sheet of heavy parchment, the edges crinkled by her grip. "Look! I finished it!" she chirped, her voice a bell in the silence of the dying house. "I drew the fountain. The one where the water never stops. I used
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Gilded Noose
Chapter 57Valencia’s POVThe kitchen was cold, but the fire in my blood was freezing. Maria didn’t ask questions; she didn’t need to. She simply nodded, the blade she was cleaning reflecting the sharp, merciless glint in her eyes. I didn't wait for her to pick up the burner phone. I was already moving.My heels were silent on the Persian rugs as I ascended the grand staircase. Every portrait of a Rossi ancestor seemed to sneer as I passed, their painted eyes tracking the woman who was about to erase their lineage from the face of the earth. I reached the heavy oak doors of the master suite. Two guards stood outside, but they straightened the moment they saw me. They had seen the "Last Supper." They had seen me bring the Syndicate to its knees. To them, I wasn't just Antonio’s fiancée anymore; I was the dark sun around which this entire crumbling solar system orbited."He’s resting," one of them whispered, his eyes downcast."He’s waiting for me," I countered, my voice a silk ribbon
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Serpent’s Sanctuary
Chapter 56Valencia’s POVThe tranquility of the garden still clung to my skin like the scent of crushed jasmine, but the moment I stepped back into the vaulted marble foyer of the manor, the air changed. The peace I had found with Mia was a fragile glass ornament, and I could feel the vibrations of the house trying to shatter it.I had just handed Mia over to a much more subdued, trembling nanny when I turned the corner toward the west gallery. The shadows here were long, stretched out by the dying sun into jagged fingers that seemed to reach for my throat. I didn't hear him move. I didn't hear the scuff of a boot or the rustle of a suit. Akeem simply materialized from the darkness of a recessed alcove, his massive frame blocking the path to my study.I stopped. My heart didn’t race, Silas had trained that reflex out of me but a cold, calculating stillness settled over my limbs."Akeem," I said, my voice smooth as polished stone. "I thought you were stationed at the perimeter.""The
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Crown of the Sea-Monster
Chapter 55Valencia’s POVThe morning after the "Last Supper" felt like the world had been scrubbed raw. The air in the Rossi Manor was unnervingly still, the kind of silence that usually follows a landslide. Antonio was heavily sedated in the west wing, his pride and his body equally broken, and the Syndicate vultures had scattered to digest the digital poison I’d fed them.For the first time in months, the "Titan" was silent. My mind wasn't calculating offshore transfers or decryption keys. Instead, my feet moved of their own accord toward the nursery.I stopped at the doorway. Mia was sitting in a sunbeam in the middle of the white plush rug. She looked small, frighteningly small but the waxy, grey pallor of the fever had been replaced by a faint, healthy flush. She was surrounded by a chaotic spread of crayons and heavy parchment."You’re working hard," I said softly.Mia didn't flinch. She didn't scream. She looked up, her dark curls, so much like my own tumbling over her shoulde

Chapter 29Valencia’s POVThe obsidian desk had been cold, but the fire Silas left burning in my blood was agonizing. I sat on the edge of my bed in the dark, the oversized white shirt, his shirt still damp with the salt of my own unfulfilled skin. I could still feel the phantom weight of his fing

Chapter 27Antonio’s POVThe smell of rotting roses still clung to the vents of the Rossi Manor, a cloying, sweet stench of decay that no amount of expensive aerosol could mask. It sat in the back of my throat, reminding me of things that should stay buried.I sat in my study, the mahogany desk gl

Chapter 28Silas’s POVThe ache in my groin was a dull, throbbing reminder of the checkmate she’d dealt me three hours ago. It pulsed with every heartbeat, a relentless drumbeat that echoed through my veins, refusing to fade. I had spent forty minutes under a spray of ice-cold water in the en-suit
