Scarred Hearts: A Mafia Billionaire Romance Chapter 263: The House Trembles
The Blackwood mansion had long stood as a symbol of dominance. Its chandeliers dangled like insignias its marble floors shone with the luster of affluence its walls murmured tales of triumphs forged through the downfall of others.. Tonight all that magnificence seemed hollow.An invisible force weighed on the atmosphere. Denser than more piercing than dread. Servants moved lightly along the corridors eyes cast downward holding trays that clinked softly due to fingers. The mere clatter of silverware, against porcelain startled them. Murmurs circulated like an infection.“Have you heard?”“A note… it was placed in the corridor.”“They claim it was her.”They were too afraid to mention her name. Yet it was unnecessary. Everyone understood exactly who "she" referred to.---Samuel Blackwood prowled the hallways like a trapped beast consumed by rage, His proud shoulders now slumped as if burdened by an invisible load only he could feel. The letter remained locked, in his study. Its phrases

The mansion lay quiet. For years it had served as a house of authority its walls reverberating with Samuel Blackwood’s sharp commands and the orderly footsteps of servants responding without hesitation.. By midday that cadence had ceased.Samuel sat in the study surrounded by three phones simultaneously his desk covered with documents. He appeared diminished his shoulders hunched while he debated with bankers and lawyers who had previously fawned over his name.“Forgery!" he barked into the phone. "Can you hear me? I never signed any document!”A silence followed on the line. Then the composed official tone responded: "The signature has been checked against your records, Mr. Blackwood. We will move forward unless a legal challenge is submitted within seven days.”Samuel hung up the phone with force that the wood split. His empire was being taken away through documents. He lacked any tool sharp enough to slice through the ink.---Upstairs Eleanor walked back and forth in her chamber w

Morning came pale over the Blackwood estate the sunlight failing to ease the memory of last night. The gala closed with clapping yet the murmurs spread quicker than the carriages. By dawn the family name was already being spoken elsewhere.. Not, with honor.Samuel remained seated in the dining room food untouched on the table, in front of him. His wrapped hand shook while he raised his coffee cup. He had stayed up all night making calls yelling into phones insisting on the names of anyone who could have possibly circulated those rumors. Every response was identical: nothing only murmurs.It was the first time Samuel Blackwood had been powerless against gossip.---Vivian stepped into the room wearing a silk robe her gaze sharp, with a mix of amusement and scrutiny. "Word is you signed something " she remarked nonchalantly spreading butter on her toast.Samuel’s eyes shot open bloodshot with rage. ". You’re saying it like an idiot.”Vivian gave a smile. "Just because everyone else is.”
Scarred Hearts: A Mafia Billionaire Romance Chapter 260: Whispers at the Gala
The ballroom lit by chandeliers shone like a temple of crystal and gold, The Blackwood fortune had long prospered on grandeur. This evening Samuel ordered his children to remain beside him. United and invincible.Visitors streamed in: bankers, magistrates, lawmakers, individuals who had formerly shuddered when Samuel addressed the room. Their chuckles sounded loud their grins overly deliberate. Underneath the silk and sparkling wine gossip slithered like a snake.“Did you catch that?" a banker whispered from, behind his glass. "Apparently a transfer has been submitted.”“To a lady " someone else murmured.“A wife. Or was it a maid?”They laughed nervously. No one mentioned the name aloud. Everyone sensed it lingering in the atmosphere.---Samuel positioned himself in the middle standing upright with a stare. His hand lay on Eleanor’s arm. The pressure revealed the shake he concealed from everyone present.“Grin " he spat between jaws. "Grin, damn it. Show them Blackwoods remain ruler

The mansion ceased to feel like home. For those who considered it their own.That night Eleanor attempted to evoke grace by hosting a family dinner, The table was set with silverware, crystal glasses and elegant linen. However no sense of comfort remained. Each candle wavered as if reluctant to stay lit, for their sake.Samuel was seated at the forefront his expression etched in stone. Harrison sat beside him on the rigid fists tightly closed. Nathaniel avoided eye contact though his thoughts were restless about the documents secured in his office. Vivian. Always the performer. Displayed a smile her stare sharp, as a blade.The initial course. Passed by uneaten.Afterwards Vivian uttered, her tone smooth, as satin.“Father " she asked, "I’m curious. If the rumors aren’t true why haven’t you dispelled them yet?”Samuel’s gaze sharply turned upward. "It’s because they’re insignificant, to me! I don’t bother crushing ants.”Vivian leaned in her eyes shining. "If left unchecked, for long

The mansion seemed chillier than normal but It wasn’t due, to the climate. Rather it was how the atmosphere held words like ice forming on a windowpane.During breakfast the family assembled around the mahogany table. Silverware sparkled, remaining unused. Samuel occupied the head seat sitting stiffly his eyes darkened. His daughters, his son and even Eleanor. Each moved uneasily like performers stuck in a drama missing its script."Eat " Samuel snapped, poking his fork into his food. Nobody stirred.Vivian was the first to break the quiet. "Father there’s talk, among the people.”Samuel’s blade struck the porcelain with a clink. "Who ? Give names.”“In the city " Vivian went on evenly disregarding his scowl. "Bankers. Executives. They mention papers. Transactions. That a different name appears where yours ought to be.”A deeper than stone settled around the table. Harrison’s grip, on his glass grew firm. Eleanor’s mouth opened slightly. No noise emerged. Nathaniel fixed his gaze on h
