    The first page of the file contained copies of emails between Bianca and another man.Next came intimate photos of them together and records of the money he'd sent her.Dante went through everything again and again.He stared at Bianca in disbelief.Bianca saw his face and rushed over to grab the file.The moment she saw what was inside, her legs gave out."This is fake. Let me explain.""Shut up!"Dante roared, though everyone there had already seen the evidence.There was still no hard proof that Bianca's baby wasn't his, so he might still be able to salvage that part of the scandal.He refused to let the Moretti family be humiliated any further in public.He swallowed his anger and kept reading.The remaining pages contained complete records of Dante's years of contraband smuggling.His blood ran cold.He knew exactly how much damage these records could do now that so many people had seen them.Every rival family and anyone after his trade routes now had the perfect opportunity to m

    They quickly stripped me of my authority.By now, they were keeping me out of most of the business.I didn't fight it. The few exclusive distribution agreements that really mattered were still beyond their reach.I had bled for the family for five years, and the moment I lost my baby, they threw me aside like a worn-out tool.If their reputation mattered that much, I would ruin them in front of everyone, right there on their own ground.I would bury the entire family with my child.I went to the study and found the wedding plans.The date was set for two weeks later.The guest list was full of their business partners.It was going to be a huge wedding, and every family would be watching.I memorized every key time on the schedule.Then I went back to my room and messaged Rafael."Two weeks from now, at Dante's wedding, send your people in with the evidence.
