The love that killed me, The Billionaire who saved me 57
Without another word, Diego, Jane, Dante, and Julie turned and walked out of the building, flanked by their private security squad, leaving the disgraced officers and Sylvia behind. As soon as they settled into the back seat of the private vehicle and the car pulled away from the curb, Jane let out a long, shuddering breath. She leaned over, wrapping her arms around Diego’s waist, burying her face against his chest so tightly she could barely breathe. "I was so scared," Jane whispered, her voice trembling slightly now that the adrenaline was finally wearing off. "When those police officers walked in with handcuffs... I thought we lost." Diego wrapped his arms tightly around her, pressing a soft kiss into her hair. He pulled her closer, needing her warmth as much as she needed his. "It’s okay princess, Jane. I'm right here." He pulled back slightly, looking down into her eyes with a mixture of awe and profound affection. "I have to ask... why did you do that for me back there? You

The flashing red and blue lights of the police cruiser cast a harsh glow across the polished marble floor of the lobby. Inside the building, the murmur of the crowd died down instantly as Diego Orlov pulled his phone from his pocket. His face was a mask of cold fury. Without breaking eye contact with the trembling officers who had tried to arrest him, he dialed a direct number. It took less than two rings before the call was picked up. "Chief," Diego said, his voice dropping into a dangerous, icy register that carried across the quiet room. "I am standing in the lobby of my company with three of your officers who decided to show up with fabricated charges, a pair of handcuffs, and a pack of reporters. You have ten minutes to get down here, along with your head commander, or you won't have a department left by Monday morning." Before the chief could stammer out a reply, Diego ended the call. He turned his cold gaze toward Dante, who was already stepping forward. Dante nodded sharpl

The flashbulbs went off in a blinding, chaotic storm. Dozens of reporters crowded the glass lobby of the office building, their cameras clicking nonstop while the two police officers stepped forward, holding out a pair of silver handcuffs meant for Diego Orlov. Jane didn't step back. Instead, she walked right between Diego and the officers, her eyes locked on Sylvia. “I’d like to know what this is all about, Sylvia,” Jane said, her voice sharp and steady. One of the police officers frowned, looking at Jane with open annoyance. “This is Sylvia. You know her, right? And who are you?” “I’m Jane,” she replied clearly, holding up her left hand so the massive diamond engagement ring caught the harsh lobby lights. “I’m Jane. I’m Diego’s fiancée. Sylvia is the company’s PR manager, and I want to know exactly what she’s accusing Diego of right now.” “Whatever she has to say will be explained in a proper court of law,” the officer replied, waving a hand dismissively. “Anything said her

Sylvia dropped her professional demeanor instantly. A cold, predatory smile spread across her face as she stepped around the desk. She leaned over him, running a hand over his broad shoulder, pressing her body against his side."Shh, Diego," Sylvia whispered softly into his ear, her voice dripping with artificial sweetness. "Just relax. You're just tired."Diego tried to push her away, his powerful instincts fighting against the drug, but his muscles refused to obey his commands. The sheer potency of the substance dragged him down into a hazy, intoxicated stupor. He could barely keep his eyes open.Unknown to Diego, the side door of the private office clicked open just a fraction. A strange man slipped silently into the room, holding a high-end digital camera equipped with a professional telephoto lens. Moving with practiced stealth, the man adjusted the angle, capturing a rapid sequence of clear, compromising photos and video clips of Sylvia practically straddling the heavily intoxic

The silver sedan pulled up to the curb outside the massive glass doors of the private hospital. The sterile white building loomed large against the overcast sky, a place of clinical precision and cold efficiency. Inside the car, the engine hummed quietly, but neither Dante nor Julie made a move to open their doors.Dante stared through the windshield, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white. His heart hammered against his ribs like a caged animal. Every instinct in his body screamed at him to put the car in reverse and drive away from this place forever.Julie turned in the passenger seat, studying his rigid profile with a mixture of sympathy and firm resolve."We're here," Julie said gently. "Park the car, Dante."Dante let out a long, shaky breath, refusing to look at her. "I can't do this, Jul. I'm not going in there."Julie frowned, unbuckling her seatbelt and leaning closer to him. "What do you mean you can't? We talked about this. You agreed."

The room fell into a heavy silence as the harsh reality of the legal battle set in.“Finding another victim who isn’t tied to his inner circle would make everything much easier,” Julie muttered, tapping her chin.Suddenly, Julie sat up straight, an idea sparking in her eyes. “What if…”Both men turned to look at her expectantly.“What if we add something at the end of the leaked video?” She looked back and forth between Diego and Dante. “A clear message to the public. If anyone has ever been a victim of Daniel Creswell… they should come forward. We’ll promise them complete legal and physical protection. The DeLuca family will stand behind every single one of them.”Dante slowly nodded, approval dawning on his face. “That’s actually a very good idea. People are afraid because they think they’re fighting alone.”Diego smiled faintly, building on the concept. “Better yet… we’ll allow anonymous reports to start. If they don’t have to reveal their identities immediately in public… more peo

"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?"

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 gl

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 a

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
