ZARIA 86:

“Observe something else,” I replied. “My private life is not for you to observe, Mr Gerald.”

His eyebrow shot up in surprise. But before he could respond, Wang suddenly appeared between us holding two cups.

“Oh! You are here,” Wang said brightly. “I bring tea.”

He handed me one and did not give Gerald anything.

Gerald stared at the empty space in his hand.

I hid a smile.

Jesus.

What was going on in the mind of Wang? Jealousy? I highly doubted Gerald was interested in me. No, scrat

    RENZO 105:“I’m attempting to avoid unnecessary damage,” I replied evenly. “To reputations. To families. To futures.”“And to yourself,” he added.“Of course.”For a moment, neither of us spoke.Then I straightened.“You have no solid proof,” I said quietly. “And if this proceeds the way the prosecutor intends, it will not end well for anyone involved.”His fingers tapped lightly against the desk.“You mistake my position for charity,” he said at last. “This is no longer about what I want or what you want.”I felt irritation creep up my spine. “Stop toying with me. I am a powerful man.”He chuckled softly. “No.”“Be careful,” I said icily.His eyes narrowed at that.“Is that a threat?”“It’s advice.”He leaned forward now, folding his hands together.“Mr. Dominico,” he said slowly, “someone far more powerful than you has taken an interest in this case.”My jaw tightened.“Powerful?” I repeated.He removed his glasses and placed them neatly on the desk. Then he stood. When he moved, th

  • Healing The Devil I Once Loved   CHAPTER 104

    RENZO 104I eyed my father. Why was he squirming?“Father?” Richard took a deep breath. “I'll answer this question, Son. Hold on.” He rose when his name was called to address specific transactions. Immediately, everyone swallowed their opinions. Well, my father was pretty terrifying when he wanted to be. But I couldn't tell if ‘being terrifying’ was helpful in pleading our case, right now. “I don't know what you've heard, but our companies operate internationally,” he said firmly. “Global trade requires partnerships. None of these documents proves criminal intent.”I agreed with my father on that. And what the hell was China doing in my business?The prosecutor smiled slightly. “Intent can be inferred through patterns. And you two?” He chuckled, facing the crowd. “There's plenty of evidence.”Those words sank uncomfortably in my mind. What was he on about? The prosecutor’s eyes twinkled as he submitted the evidence. Before my eyes, a new report was introduced.Seventeen deaths

    RENZO 103:He had just arrived, wearing a tailored navy suit and an expression that balanced concern and composure. Beside him walked Elix in a green dress that showed off her bony curves. Her hands were folded, and her eyes were slightly red as if she had been crying.The microphones turned toward them immediately.“Mr Vescari, what is your position on Renzo’s charges?”Emilio shook his head slowly. “Richard Dominico has been a kind man to many families, including mine. He has built employment and stability. Renzo is trying to shield his father from accusations that are not proven. As a father-in-law, it is my duty to stand by my family.”My jaw tightened slightly.Father-in-law indeed. What in God's name was here? And she.Elix stepped forward softly. “I have been praying,” she said, her voice trembling just enough to appear sincere. “Renzo is a good man. We are getting married soon. We believe truth will prevail.”The cameras adored the sound of our marriage. Truthfully, I had f

    RENZO 102:Delt’s jaw tightened at the mention of that name.He nodded. “I understand.”When the door closed behind them, I walked back to the window and rested my palm against the cool glass, watching the city lights shimmer against the dark sky. From a distance, everything looked calm and orderly, but I had lived long enough to recognize how easily this peace could be disrupted.China was no longer a matter of adjusting dates on a calendar. It was becoming a place I might not see for a very long time. Travel restrictions were tightening around me, and the government had already begun its slow process of reviewing every account, every transaction, every partnership tied to my name. They would question me repeatedly and sift through my history in search of proof that matched the story forming in public.While I remained here answering accusations, others would continue their movements freely beyond my reach. That was the part that unsettled me most, not the noise of reporters or th

  • Healing The Devil I Once Loved   CHAPTER 101

    ZARIA 101:A thin line of suspicion crept into my thoughts.I straightened slowly.Perhaps I was reading too much into it. After all, the village often held events. There could be reasons.Still, nothing passed in this village without me knowing. I had made it my duty to understand every movement here. Why had I not heard of anything that required disguise kits?I opened the door and stepped back into the room.Gerald looked up at once. “Are you comfortable?” he asked.“I am fine,” I replied calmly, returning to sit on the edge of the bed.Eric handed me a glass of water. “Drink slowly.”I did, letting the coolness settle in my throat.“Where are the rest of the men?” I asked casually.Gerald answered first. “They stepped out.”“At this hour?”He shrugged lightly. “Preparations.”“For what?”There was a brief pause, so slight that someone less observant might not notice.“For the village show next weekend,” Eric said smoothly. “We were asked to assist.”I tilted my head slightly. “A

    ZARIA 100:“Get in!” he shouted.More shots rang out from above as we rushed toward the truck. We jumped inside, and Big Chen slammed his foot down on the accelerator without looking back. The truck roared forward, tires screeching as we sped through the streets. Cars swerved out of our path, horns blaring loudly. I glanced back and saw another vehicle chasing us, gaining speed.Big Chen did not panic. He took a sudden sharp turn into a narrow street that only locals would know. The pursuing car tried to follow but lost control on the tight corner and crashed into a pole with a loud metallic crash.We did not slow down.Only when the city lights faded behind us and the road grew quieter did Big Chen ease his foot off the accelerator.“You are bleeding,” he said, glancing at my arm.I looked down and saw that blood had soaked through my sleeve, dark and spreading.“It is nothing,” I said, though my arm throbbed with steady pain.Renzo… my idiotic man, what did you do this time? My t

    ZARIA Work resumed in a way that felt almost surreal.After the rush of adrenaline, and the bright satisfaction of finally scoring a strategic goal against Rosita Dominico, life simply… went on. I couldn't place it.Normal was the best way to describe it.The patients we desperately wanted— came

    RENZO I laughed quietly. “It doesn’t.”“It should,” he said. “Next time, you might not wake up to a snoring nurse.”My gaze drifted to the door.Somewhere outside, voices murmured. My men were waiting and watching.I closed my eyes briefly. Shit. It was too early to die. There were too many loose

The medicine burned, but my smile didn’t fade.“Do it,” I said softly.Asher didn’t argue again, not after the look I gave him. He stepped away from the bed while Sabrina finished taping the IV li

    ZARIA I will never forget Rosita Dominico.Even if I lived a hundred lifetimes, even if I scrubbed Renzo’s name out of my mouth and memory until it tasted like nothing, Rosita would remain. She had a way of existing in the background that made her more oppressive than any presence. Rosita wasn't
