Dante and Jullie stood in the heart of Rome, the city's ancient history a silent backdrop to their modern-day hunt. They were a world away from the glamorous offices of the Orlov empire, in a world of shadows and secrets. Their resources, Dante's network of informants and Jullie's meticulous research, led them to a quiet, unassuming safe house in the Italian countryside. The hunt for Roman was a dangerous one, with every step they took a calculated risk. They knew they were being watched, but they were also watching. They were a team, a family, and they would not rest until they had found the truth.

The safe house was a small, dilapidated villa, a forgotten relic in a world of luxury and opulence. The air was thick with the scent of dust and decay, a chilling reminder of the dark secrets it held. They entered the house through a side window, their movements fluid and silent. They found Roman in a small, cramped study, surrounded by a mountain of files and a computer screen. He was a s

    "I can't wait to call Diego and tell him about what we just found."Jullie stepped closer, placing a hand gently on his arm. Her expression held a touch of caution, tempering his immediate urge to share the news."Don't you think we should hold on a little and present this physically to them both?" she suggested, her tone soft yet firm. "You don't know what the two of them are up to, and they've been through a lot. They just announced their engagement. Allow them to be okay. You wouldn't want to ruin their day, would you?"Dante paused, the enthusiasm dimming slightly in his eyes as he considered her words. He looked at her, a warm smile spreading across his face."You have a point there, sweetheart." He reached out and playfully ruffled the top of her hair, making the perfectly arranged strands scatter just a little.Jullie playfully swatted at his hand. "Come on, don't ruin my beautiful hair.""You know you will always look pretty to me, though."Their eyes met, a shared moment of a

    Jane stood frozen in the middle of the living room, her phone still in her hand. Lucy's soft, pleading voice echoed in her mind. Don't let your hatred for me and Daniel destroy an innocent child. The words, a calculated strike at her deepest vulnerability, had lodged in her heart like a piece of glass. She knew the call was a performance, a desperate, last-ditch effort from two cornered animals, but the thought of an innocent child suffering was a different kind of pain. It was a familiar ache, the one that reminded her of her own lost family, a pain she had carried for six long years.Diego walked into the room, his phone to his ear, his expression grim. He was speaking in a low voice, and Jane caught fragments of the conversation. "...unprecedented sell-off... a very public crisis... we're losing millions by the hour." He hung up, running a hand through his hair. His eyes fell on Jane, and the hardness in them softened immediately. He took a step toward her, his face a mixture of co

  • The love that killed me, The Billionaire who saved me    41: Lucy and Daniels desperation

    Daniel sat in his home office, the once-gleaming mahogany desk now a chaotic mess of papers, financial reports, and crumpled news articles. The headlines screamed at him from every direction, each one a fresh assault on his crumbling empire. The news of Jane and Diego’s engagement had not only shocked the public but had also sent a tremor of fear through the business world. Investors, seeing the immense power and influence of the Orlov name now pitted against the Crestwell conglomerate, were pulling their money out in droves. His phone rang constantly, a shrill, incessant sound that he had long since muted. He had once been a king, feared and worshipped in the financial world, but now, he felt like a pawn in a game he was rapidly losing. The very name he had so meticulously built, the name he had stolen, was now a liability.Lucy walked in, her face pale, a look of manic desperation in her eyes. "Daniel," she said, her voice a low, frantic whisper, "we have a problem. The media. They'

    Jane stared at herself in the full-length mirror, her reflection a stranger in a silk dress and a carefully applied face of makeup. Her hands trembled slightly as she adjusted the collar, a wave of nausea washing over her. She was about to go on live television, with the entire world watching, to announce her engagement to Diego Orlov. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic rhythm of fear and anticipation.Diego walked into the room, his eyes scanning her with a look of pure adoration. He was dressed in a sleek black suit, his presence as powerful as ever. He walked over to her, his movements fluid and graceful, and placed a single red rose in her hands. "You're a beautiful stranger," he said, his voice a low, soothing murmur. "Are you ready?"She looked at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and hope. "I don't know if I can do this, Diego. I'm terrified. What if I mess up? What if I say something wrong?"He took her hands in his, his touch warm and reassuring. "You wo

    The mood in Diego’s study was heavy. The air felt thick with anticipation and unease. Jullie held up a small, ornate silver locket, its surface scarred by a dark patina of soot. It was the only tangible thing they had from the fire, the only piece of the past that wasn't just a memory. Dante stood by her side, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a rigid focus. Jane sat across from them on a plush velvet sofa, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, watching the locket as if it were a live thing. Diego stood behind her, one hand resting protectively on her shoulder, his presence a solid anchor in the storm."This is it," Jullie said, her voice quiet but firm. "The firefighter, Hector, he said he found it in the rubble. He was paid to keep quiet about it, to say it was an accident. He said it was just lying there, untouched, as if someone had placed it there deliberately."Jane's breath hitched in her throat. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic rhythm of grief and dawning horro
