The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride The Queen's Wardrobe
Chapter 222Three Days Later. The Grand Canal, Venice, Italy.The moon hung low over the dark, shimmering waters of the Grand Canal, casting long, jagged shadows across the ancient, sinking city.A sleek, heavily armored mahogany Riva speedboat sliced through the black water, its powerful twin engines a low, menacing purr that echoed off the historic stone palazzos.Inside the enclosed, bulletproof cabin of the boat, the tension was suffocating.Zara sat perfectly still, staring out the tinted glass. She was breathtaking, a vision of absolute, weaponized elegance. She wore a custom gown of deep, iridescent sapphire silk that clung to her curves, the back dipping daringly low. But beneath the silk, she wore a micro-mesh Kevlar corset. Hidden in the lining of her thigh-high slit was a ceramic, non-metallic throwing knife."You're grinding your teeth."Ethan’s deep, velvet voice pulled her from her racing thoughts.He was sitting across from her, radiating an aura of lethal, aristocratic
The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride The Golden Scale
Chapter 221The penthouse office of Aegis Tower was silent, save for the hum of the city far below.Ethan stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, staring out at the Manhattan skyline. His suit jacket lay discarded on the leather sofa, his tie loosened. The revelation that Vivian Vance had a secret backer gnawed at him like a physical wound."A golden scale," Zara murmured. She was sitting at the obsidian desk, a holographic projection of the mysterious digital crest rotating slowly above the glass surface.It was an archaic, elegant design. A perfectly balanced golden weighing scale, intertwined with a serpent."It’s not mafia. It’s not cartel," Ethan analyzed, his eyes fixed on the horizon, his mind dissecting the data. "Cartels like the Vane Syndicate use violence to assert dominance. A golden scale is a symbol of judgment. Of balance. This is old money. Very old.""Older than the Frost Dynasty?" Zara asked, her brow furrowing."Much older," Ethan turned around, walking back

Chapter 2208:00 AM. Vance Shipping Corporate Headquarters, Manhattan.The boardroom of Vance Shipping was a den of terrified, sweating executives.Word had spread through the financial elite like wildfire. Aegis Global had been hit. The untouchable fortress of Ethan and Zara Cole had been breached. Blood in the water always brought the sharks, and the CEO of Atlantic Freight a massive, bloated rival conglomerate was already sitting at the table, grinning like a hyena."Let's be pragmatic, gentlemen," Richard Sterling, the CEO of Atlantic Freight, drawled smoothly, adjusting his silk tie. "Aegis Global is dealing with a catastrophic internal security failure. They cannot finalize the Vance acquisition in this chaos. My firm is prepared to offer you a lifeline. Sign with Atlantic, and we will protect you from the Cole-Frost fallout."The Vance executives murmured among themselves, eyeing the Atlantic Freight buyout documents nervously."It makes sense," one of the board members whisper
The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride The Weight of the Crown
Chapter 219The sterile, blinding white lights of the Aegis medical wing were a stark contrast to the bloody, soot-stained nightmare they had just survived.Leo was sitting up in the pristine hospital bed, a thick white bandage wrapped around his forehead, an IV line feeding warm fluids into his bruised arm. Despite looking incredibly small and pale in the oversized bed, the fifteen-year-old was stubbornly trying to type on a backup tablet with one hand.The heavy glass doors hissed open."Leo!"Aria didn't walk. She scrambled out of Ethan’s arms the second her feet touched the floor and sprinted across the room, launching herself onto the edge of the bed. She threw her small arms around her older brother’s neck, burying her face in his hospital gown.Leo dropped the tablet instantly. His stoic, genius facade completely crumbled. He wrapped his arms around his nine-year-old sister, burying his face in her dark hair, his shoulders shaking as a ragged, silent sob tore through his chest.

Chapter 218Aegis Headquarters. New York City."Trace the signal! Now!" Ethan roared, slamming his bloody fist onto the console.Leo’s fingers flew across the keyboard, his face bruised and pale, but his gray eyes blazing with absolute focus. Despite arriving in New York via medical transport just twenty minutes ago, Leo had refused the hospital. He was sitting in the command center chair, hooked up to an IV pole, tracking the microscopic audio beacon."The beacon is triangulating," Leo muttered, his eyes darting across the scrolling lines of code. "It’s bouncing off a cell tower in... Long Island. East Hampton. Coordinates locking."A satellite map flashed onto the main holographic screen, zooming in rapidly on a sprawling, secluded coastal estate perched on the edge of the cliffs in East Hampton."The old Sterling Manor," Zara whispered, her blue eyes narrowing into slits of pure, homicidal fury. "It was Chloe’s mother’s estate. It was seized by the bank five years ago. Agatha must
The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride The Ghost of the Matriarch
Chapter 217Location: Unknown.Nine-year-old Aria Cole sat perfectly still on the edge of a massive, antique four-poster bed.The room she was locked in was opulent, but suffocating. Heavy velvet curtains were drawn tightly over the windows, blocking out the sun. The air smelled strongly of mothballs, expensive lavender perfume, and old wood.She was terrified. Her small hands gripped the edge of the silk bedspread, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird.But she was not crying.Tears are data for the enemy, her brother, Leo, had told her once when they were playing chess. If they see you cry, they know they are winning. Don't let them win, Aria.Aria took a slow, deep breath, forcing her heart rate to slow. She looked at the heavy mahogany door. She had watched the scarred mercenary lock it from the outside. It was a biometric deadbolt, reinforced with steel.She looked down at her hands. When the bad men had grabbed her from the Aegis bunker, she had kicked, scream
