We spent the next six hours rebuilding our entire strategy.

Patterson's files arrived by evening. Encrypted. Comprehensive. Everything Vincent had hired him for over the past two years. He kept a good work record.

Surveillance operations. Background checks. Intimidation jobs. And most damning a complete list of commission members Patterson had investigated on Vincent's behalf.

"He has dirt on eleven of them," I said, scrolling through the files. "Financi

  • THE BILLIONAIRES BROKEN HEIRESS   THE INTERROGATION

    Dante found Elena in the study alone.She was holding a photograph of Aria as a child. The real photograph. The one that would only exist if someone had given it to her."That's a beautiful picture," Dante said.Elena turned, and her expression didn't change."It is," Elena said. "Aria was such a happy child before the massacre, she had a beautiful life we gave her.. and we wanted things different for her.."It was a test. An opening. A small confession hidden in a mundane statement.Dante closed the door."You're very good at deciet," he said.Elena set the photograph down carefully."Thank you," she said."But not good enough," Dante said.She smiled then. A real smile. Not the grandmother smile. The operative smile."No," Elena said. "I suppose not. But then again, you're Dante Russo. Supposedly three steps ahead of everyone. So perhaps I was designed to be found.""Were you?" Dante asked."Perhaps," Elena said. She sat down. "Or perhaps I wanted to be found. It's hard to know anym

  • THE BILLIONAIRES BROKEN HEIRESS   CHAPTER 135: DOUBT AND DECEPTION

    Dante studied Elena Moretti across the dining table and couldn't shake the feeling that something was deeply, fundamentally wrong.She was Aria's mother. She had the right face, the right mannerisms, the right memories. She knew details about Aria's childhood that only a parent would know.But something didn't fit.The questions circled in Dante's mind like vultures.Why now? After twenty-three years of hiding, why reveal herself at Hope's birthday party? Why that specific moment? How did she know to be there?How had she survived a massacre that left blood everywhere? How had she escaped without anyone seeing her? How had she stayed hidden in a city where Dante's operatives monitored everything?The timeline didn't work. The logistics didn't work. The physics of survival didn't work.And when Dante tried to trace backwards where had Elena been for twenty-three years? What countries? What aliases? What proof of life? the answers became vague. Evasive."I moved around," Elena had said

  • THE BILLIONAIRES BROKEN HEIRESS   THE INVESTIGATION

    Dante didn’t sleep that night. He was too restless and overwhelmed to have a goodnight restHe sat in his study with every file Gianna had on Antonio Battaglia spread across the desk. Forty years of Commission history. Financial records. Operative lists. Properties owned.It all looked normal.Too normal. Too clean.Because a man this careful wouldn’t leave obvious trails. He would hide in plain sight. Which meant Dante had to look at what wasn’t there.What was missing.At 3 AM, Marco arrived.“You called?” Marco asked, seeing the scattered documents.“I need you to trace every operation the Commission has run in the last twenty-five years,” Dante said. “Every assignment. Every target. Every success and every failure.”“That’s thousands of operations,” Marco said.“I know,” Dante said. “But I’m looking for one thing. A pattern.”“What pattern?” Marco asked.“Whoever benefits,” Dante said. “Not obviously. But underneath. Whoever gains power while someone else takes the fall.”Marco lo

  • THE BILLIONAIRES BROKEN HEIRESS   THE REVELATION 

    Hope’s first birthday was supposed to be perfect. Infact it was perfect.The backyard was decorated with balloons. The cake was carefully arranged. Luca was excited to celebrate his sister. Dante stood with Hope in his arms, the proud father.It was everything they’d been fighting for.Then a woman pulled Aria aside into the house.A woman who looked like a ghost.A woman Aria had last seen when she was seven years old, bloodied and screaming, being pulled away during the massacre.“Mom?” Aria whispered.Her mother Elena Moretti wearing a viel and completely blended in, alive after years of believing her dead pulled her daughter into the hallway away from the party.“We need to talk,” her mother said, and her voice had the weight of something that had been buried for a lifetime.Aria couldn’t process what she was seeing.Her mother. Alive. Real. Standing in front of her in the hallway of her home.“I’m sorry,” her mother said. “I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you before. I’m sorry I had to

  • THE BILLIONAIRES BROKEN HEIRESS   THE MORNING AFTER

    Dante woke before dawn.The habit was ingrained always aware, always alert, always ready for threat.But this morning, there was no threat.Just Aria sleeping beside him, her face peaceful in the pre-dawn darkness. Her hair spread across the pillow. Her hand resting on his chest, even in sleep claiming possession of him.He didn’t move.He just watched her, understanding something fundamental that had been building for months.The god was gone.Not diminished. Not hiding. Gone.And he wasn’t sure what had replaced him.Three hours later, Luca padded into the bedroom.He was dressed for school but unbrushed, his hair sticking up in seven different directions. He carried his backpack like it weighed a thousand pounds.

  • THE BILLIONAIRES BROKEN HEIRESS   HEALING INTIMACY

    Aria waited until Luca was asleep. Hope was in her crib. The house was quiet for the first time in weeks and she wasn't anticipating any danger looming.She found Dante in the study, working through financial reports like he always did when he needed to think. Forehead squeezed and eyes fixed on his work.“Come to bed,” she said softly and reassuringly.Dante looked up from his work, and she saw the shift in his expression. The moment of panic that crossed his face before he could hide it.“It’s late,” he said, which wasn’t an answer.“It’s been six months,” Aria said. “And we’ve barely touched each other babe.”“I know,” Dante said quietly.“I want you,” Aria said. “I want to reconn

    I stared at the message until my vision sharpened to crystal clarity."Tick tock, Aria. Better tell your husband the truth before I do it for you."Not fear. Not panic. Sudden Realization that the person behind this threats thinks i am still my fathers daughter.
