Author: duran1995
"This drive contains every piece of anonymous correspondence between me and that politician.

"The person who tipped him off and saved his life can be me, or it can be you, Clark.

"Here's the deal. Let my father go, and you can claim the credit for saving him.

"You can kill me if you need revenge, but Matthew still has every record of you helping Lorenzo break the rules over the years.

"He'll give it to the Don, and we'll both burn."

It was my only way out alive.

Clark knew it. In the end, he cho

    I glanced casually past him.Only his most trusted men stood behind him."Come on. Let's go."His eyes shone with feverish excitement. He was clearly starting to lose his grip.I didn't move. His expression darkened immediately. "Are you in love with Matthew?"I said nothing. He sneered. "Love him all you want. He's finished. And that old fool of a father of his? The Silver Bullet Gang and my men should be at the hospital by now, putting a bullet in him."I gave a faint smile. "I'll go with you. But where did you get your forces?"And how did you manage to track the movements of every key figure in the Family so precisely?"The scales of victory were already tipping in his favor.He didn't mind telling me now if he thought it would win me over. "I'm no idiot. Half my people operated in the open, the other half in the shadows."The Don's butler has been on my payroll since the day I joined the Family."Is it really that hard to believe I know everyone's movements?"This butler had grown

    At the last second, Matthew came through the door.He sent Clark flying with a single kick, then pinned him down and hit him blow after blow, each one landing hard.Clark tried to fight back, but he was no match for Matthew.By the time Matthew was done, Clark was barely alive."Throw him out."Matthew wiped his hands and walked me toward the exit.I didn't look back, but I could hear Clark cursing at the men dragging him away.They were his former subordinates. "I won't forget this!" Clark spat. "I saved your life once, and now you dare drag me around for your new boss? When I'm back on top, I'll kill you!"No one knew Clark's nature better than I did.He seemed mild on the surface, but underneath he never let a slight go unpunished.After five years of running missions under him, I knew what he was capable of. I didn't believe for a second that this was the end for him.I couldn't help glancing back.My eyes met his: cold, distant, like a stranger's.Unease crept through me. Matthew

In the end, he chose to stop fighting me.I confirmed over video that my father had made it safely to Matthew's car. Only then did I give Clark the password to the USB drive.He followed me to the front door of the villa. As I stepped through the threshold, he grabbed my hand one last time."I was wrong, Nelly."I know I was wrong."Caroline was a fraud. She was just a passing fascination."Nelly, it wasn't until you were gone that I realized it's not you who can't live without me."It's me who can't live without

    Clark took an enormous risk with this plan.He and Lorenzo prepared in secret, carefully keeping everything hidden from the Don and the senior members.Five days later, the politician arrived as scheduled.The assassin planted at the banquet didn't even have time to pull the trigger before police stormed in and took him down.Clark was meticulous. Before the mission, he'd already instructed the assassin to take his own life if the operation failed.Afterward, he moved fast, activating his network to bribe every level of the police department.He even anticipated that guests at the banquet would record videos on their phones.Clark spent a fortune shutting down most of the channels where the footage could spread.We weren't about to let this golden opportunity go to waste.Matthew deliberately allowed a small portion of the videos to slip through, letting them circulate on a limited scale.The incident eventually reached the Don's ears.The night the Family launched its investigation, I

    There was no way Clark would let me know about this humiliation.For once, he didn't press the issue. Instead, he sent people to hunt down the subordinate who had already fled.In the meantime, he also pulled Caroline's financial records.It was evening before Clark finally showed up at Caroline's hospital room, his face dark and stormy."Honey, where have you been?"Caroline was her usual teary-eyed self. "It wasn't Nelly's fault. Please don't blame her."Tears dripped down one by one. "We lost the baby, but we can try again."She's the only sister I have. Promise me you won't hurt her."Clark stared at Caroline, his expression ice-cold.He couldn't reconcile the woman in front of him with the snarling, contorted face he'd seen on camera lunging to shove me down the stairs."The miscarriage is for the best."His voice was flat. "Saves me the trouble."Caroline's eyes went wide with disbelief. "That was your child!"Clark hurled a stack of documents at her face. "Was it really mine?"H

    "Ever since that banquet, Clark's been treating me like a completely different person. You must have said something to him! What did you say to him?"The moment she saw me, Caroline sounded almost hysterical.I took a sip of my coffee. "He's the one ignoring you. Why are you taking it out on me?"That shut her up for a second. She bit her lip until it bled."You think I don't see through your little games? Using that boy toy of yours to make Clark jealous. Don't forget, he and I are the couple. I'm carrying his child."The sweet, innocent mask was gone. She jabbed a finger toward my face and snarled. "How shameless can you be? You're the other woman here!"I arched a brow. "Are you describing your mother?"My investigation had revealed that Caroline's mother had been a live-in caregiver hired to look after my mother.She'd done everything she could to get pregnant by my father, believing that a baby would guarantee her a life of comfort.But faced with my formidable mother, Dad chicken
