I Was Done Begging Chapter 13
Isabella accepted a plea agreement three months later.She admitted to endangering Noah, planting the lavender, fabricating evidence, and paying women in the detention center to assault me. She was sentenced to prison and permanently lost custody of her son.Captain Russo pleaded guilty to bribery and unlawful detention. Four officers were charged with him.My own case did not disappear.I had stabbed Isabella in front of dozens of witnesses. The Bellamy attorneys could have pressured the prosecutor, but I refused to pretend I had done nothing.My plea also covered the fire at the Moreau estate. Vincent declined restitution, and because I had called emergency services and no one had been injured, the prosecutor agreed to resolve both incidents together.The judge credited the days I had already spent in detention and sentenced me to probation, restitution, and counseling.It was not perfect justice. It was honest.Noah went to live with Vincent’s parents. I left the education trust fro

The final Bellamy attack began at midnight.I sat with Victor in the Boston operations room, facing a wall of screens. Each displayed a different Moreau asset.At twelve fifteen, Bellamy security entered two warehouses leased through Vincent’s shell companies. The guards surrendered after learning their wages had not been paid.At twelve thirty, the private bank processing Moreau casino revenue suspended every account connected to the family.At one, Arthur Wynn delivered the original financial ledgers to federal investigators.At one twenty, four Moreau captains signed an agreement withdrawing their men from Vincent’s command.By two, the empire Vincent had spent his life controlling could no longer move money, weapons, or people without Bellamy permission.Victor watched me authorize each action. “Do you want me to finish it?”“No.” I selected the final file. “I want him awake when it happens.”We returned to New York before sunrise.The Moreau headquarters was surrounded by black Be

The Moreau council met in a private Manhattan hotel two days later. The building was neutral territory. No weapons were allowed beyond the entrance, and every major East Coast family had sent a representative.Victor entered beside me. Eleanor remained in Boston, but she called before we left.“You do not have to prove anything to them,” she said.“I’m not going for them.”Vincent was already inside when we arrived. He sat at the head of the table, dressed in black, his expression perfectly controlled. Only the untouched coffee beside him revealed that he had been there for hours.Isabella sat several seats away with her injured hand bandaged. Her face changed when she saw me.Vincent’s gaze moved to the fading bruises above my collar. His fingers tightened around the arm of his chair, but he said nothing.The council chairman opened the meeting. “Don Moreau, your private decisions have exposed shared operations, compromised law enforcement contacts, and disrupted business across three

Vincent returned to New York that night. By morning, he had ordered every Moreau captain to reroute shipments around Bellamy territory. He moved cash from legitimate companies, contacted alternative insurers, and threatened anyone who hesitated to obey.None of it surprised me. I had watched him manage the Moreau empire for ten years. Vincent responded to pressure by tightening his control. The harder people resisted, the more certain he became that absolute obedience would solve the problem.He still believed this was Victor’s war. He did not know I had spent the night studying every Moreau company connected to New England.Victor entered the library shortly after breakfast and found the table covered in financial reports.“You should sleep.”“I know where Vincent will move the money.”He picked up the list I had made. The first page contained the names of seven shell corporations. The second showed the warehouses Vincent used when official ports became unavailable. The third identifi

Vincent remained outside the gates for nearly an hour. He called Daniel twice, Marco six times, and the Bellamy estate directly until the security office stopped answering.I watched him through the upstairs window. Even from a distance, I recognized the rigid line of his shoulders. Vincent did not know how to wait for permission. He had built his entire life around the certainty that other people would eventually obey.Eleanor stood beside me. “You don’t have to see him.”“I know.”That was precisely why I decided to go downstairs.Victor received Vincent in a formal sitting room instead of the private rooms used by the family. Two Bellamy guards remained near the door.Vincent stood when I entered. His gaze moved over me quickly, checking my face, my hands, and the way I favored my injured side. Relief appeared first. Then anger covered it.“You look terrible.”I sat across from him. “You always know exactly what to say.”He ignored the remark. “We’re going back to New York. My docto

The Bellamy retaliation began before sunrise.By eight the next morning, three Moreau shipments had been denied entry at Boston Harbor. Two insurance companies canceled coverage on vessels connected to Vincent’s shell corporations. A private bank demanded immediate repayment of a sixty-million-dollar credit line.At nine, Victor’s chief financial officer entered the breakfast room with another report. “The Moreau accounts in Providence and Hartford are temporarily frozen. Their attorneys are challenging the order.”Victor continued drinking his coffee. “Let them.”I sat across from him, reading the documents. The attacks were precise. No innocent employees had been targeted, and no legitimate Moreau business had been destroyed without cause. Victor had struck only the companies Vincent used to move money, weapons, and influence through Bellamy territory.“You did all this overnight?” I asked.“We have been controlling these ports longer than Vincent has been alive.” Victor set down his
