A muffled scream echoed faintly through the walls, distant but unmistakable. Raina's whole body went rigid, goosebumps rising along her arms despite the warmth of the room.

She glanced toward the door, her stomach twisting into knots. Every instinct told her to get up, to march out there and see what was happening, but Maxton's warning still rang clearly in her ears. Don't come out, no matter what you hear.

She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to steady her breathing, and turned to look

    Maxton had already suspected that something was wrong with Veer, but hearing Michael's explanation confirmed that his instincts had been right all along."The most baffling thing is that he didn't even try to hide his identity or disguise himself," Michael continued, his expression grave. "The fact that he openly showed himself means he came prepared. And that makes him even more dangerous."Maxton's expression darkened."Raina told me that Veer was her high school classmate and friend, but judging by the way you're talking about him, you clearly know more about him than she does."Michael nodded."Back when Raina was in high school, strange things started happening. Anyone who had a disagreement with her would suddenly disappear, only to be found dead days later. They had been tortured and brutally beaten. Some boys who got too close to her were also attacked and left in critical condition."Michael paused, his expression growing heavier as he recalled those days."Naturally, everyon

    Carlos wasted no time. He immediately tried to trace the number Bailey had used to call Marcus, but his efforts proved futile.The number was untraceable.He sighed in frustration and turned toward Marcus, who stood near the door with an anxious expression."It's best you come to me immediately if she calls again," Carlos advised. "That way, we can try to trace the number while the call is still ongoing."Marcus nodded and took a deep breath.What on earth was he supposed to do now?He had hoped Bailey's call would give them a lead, but it seemed they were back to square one.Carlos watched his younger brother's dejected expression and sighed.There was only so much they could do if Bailey continued making things difficult for them.He turned toward one of the men standing nearby."Have Don Valente and Lorenzo left?"The man immediately nodded.Carlos stood up and headed toward the main villa to check on Raina and Angelo. Maxton had left him behind specifically to protect them, and he

    As soon as Lorenzo left Elise's apartment, he drove straight to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.He parked in front of the building and stepped out of his car. Austin, his right-hand man, was already waiting outside to receive him."Sir," Austin greeted him before leading him into the warehouse.Inside, two women were tied to chairs, their mouths covered and their eyes hidden behind blindfolds.Lucia and Elise's mother.Lorenzo stood there for a moment, silently staring at them. His expression remained cold, giving nothing away.After a while, he gestured for Austin to follow him outside.The two men stopped beside Lorenzo's car, where they could speak privately."I want you to make arrangements with some human traffickers," Lorenzo said bluntly. "Lucia is to be sent out of the country. Find somewhere far away, somewhere she can never return from or show her face in this city again."Austin nodded, waiting for his next instruction."As for Elise's mother, I want he

    Elise's eyes widened in shock when she heard the amount her mother was demanding.Twenty-five million dollars?She stared at the woman in disbelief, unable to comprehend how her own mother could demand such an outrageous sum in exchange for leaving her alone. She opened her mouth to speak, but Lorenzo stopped her."It's okay," he whispered reassuringly.He waited until Elise fell silent before turning back to her mother."Are you promising that if I give you twenty-five million dollars, you'll stay away from Elise forever?"The woman's eyes lit up."Yes! Of course!" she answered quickly, nodding her head. "Just give me the money, and you'll never see me again. Whatever happens to her life after that is none of my business."Lorenzo studied her face for a moment before nodding.Then, to Elise's surprise, he slowly removed the expensive wristwatch from his wrist and held it out to the woman.She stared at him in confusion before shifting her gaze to the watch."What is this?" she asked

    After taking a cold shower, Lorenzo lay on his bed with his face buried in his pillow.He couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened. Memories of the past kept replaying in his mind, each one torturing him all over again. No matter how hard he tried to push them away, they refused to leave him alone.Just then, his phone rang. He sighed and slowly picked it up without checking the caller ID."It's me, Pascal," the man said urgently. "I just dropped Elise off and was about to leave when I noticed an elderly woman outside. It looks like they're having an altercation and the woman is hitting her. I thought you should know…I'll send you the address."Before Lorenzo could respond, the call ended.He immediately sprang out of bed, grabbed his jacket, and rushed out of the mansion. By the time he received the address, he was already in his car.He started the engine and sped toward the location, barely paying attention to the red lights he passed along the way. All he could th

    Hearing Lorenzo's words, Raina's heart clenched painfully. She felt tears gathering in her eyes as she looked at her brother.She gently held his face between her hands."Lorenzo, look at me."He slowly raised his head and met her eyes."Nothing like that is ever going to happen again. What happened back then was all because of our evil uncle, Maxwell. But he's dead now and he can't hurt you anymore, and he definitely can't take anyone else away from you."Lorenzo nodded slowly, but the pain in his eyes remained."You know what?" he said quietly. "I still have nightmares about that day. I still see her face whenever I close my eyes, and no matter how hard I try, I can't forget what happened."He swallowed hard, his voice growing heavier with emotion."I don't want anything like that to happen again…I really don't. I want this baby, Raina. I want the child so badly, and I hope Elise decides to keep it."He paused, looking down at his hands."If she does, I'll take responsibility for bo

    On the southern side of the Capital city, the atmosphere was different.

The feud had been vicious, killing sons and brother

    “Thud!”“Thud!”“This!”The rhythmic sound of leather hitting canvas was the only tone Raina Valente craved. The boxing gym was a dump but to her, it was a sanctuary and the only place where the name 'Valente' didn’t restrict or meddle in her life. She leaned into a sharp jab and the heavy bag gro

    Raina remained standing at the altar and some of the guests stared at her with pity while others had mocking expressions on their faces and were gloating over the fact that she wouldn't be acknowledged as the Don's wife by the Retroferds.Steps suddenly echoed on the stone floor and Lorenzo walked

    The cathedral was a monument to old blood and older sins. Its towering stone arches and stained-glass windows usually spoke of peace, but today, they felt like a cage. The pews were filled with the elite of the underworld, men in tailored suits with bulges under their jackets, and women whose diam
