The Don and Her Alpha 031
Sophia’s POVI took my time before speaking.Not because I didn’t know what to say, but because of who was standing in front of me.The board members were still seated, some stiff, some restless. The press hovered nearby, cameras lowered but not gone, waiting to see what I would do next. Families stood together along the walls, close enough to touch, close enough to remind everyone that this was no longer just business.I addressed the room slowly, acknowledging everyone present. The board. The partners. The press. I thanked them for staying, for witnessing everything that had unfolded. My voice was steady, but even I could hear the strain beneath it.This was supposed to be the moment I took over properly. The moment things moved forward.But standing there, I could feel it. Everyone could.Today had taken too much out of them.People were still processing what they had seen, what they had learned, what it meant for their families and their futures. Some of them were still holding on

Ryker’s POVI smiled in satisfaction as I watched Dominique being dragged into my house. I followed until we reached the sitting room, then instructed the guards to let go of him.They forced him to his knees in front of me.“How dare you betray me?” he spat venomously.I couldn’t help but laugh at his rage. When I looked at him again, he seemed even more furious.“How dare I betray you?” I asked, taking a slow, menacing step closer until I stood directly in front of him. I delivered a dirty slap that sent him sprawling across the floor.The guards immediately hauled him back to his knees.“Better question,” I said, lowering myself to his level as I squatted before him, “how dare you blackmail me and use me?”I met his eyes coldly. “You thought that even with a leash on me you could tame me? How stupid you must be.”I straightened slightly. “You shouldn’t have made me capture those innocent souls for your own selfish gain. Do you know what the news is saying about you now? Or what has

“You,” Dominique pointed at a guard at his side. “Get her, the lawyer, and the other man out.”As the guard began to make his way toward me, I noticed the flash of rage in Ryker’s eyes. Still, he remained where he was, not making a move. He probably wore that expression to mask his irritation at my disruption. Or at least, that’s what he wanted everyone to believe.I shifted my gaze back to the guard who had now stopped directly in front of me.“Funny,” I said calmly, my eyes never leaving Dominique, “how you thought men you stole from my family would answer to you.”“What are you doing?” Dominique shouted at the guard, ignoring my words entirely. “Take her out!”The guard didn’t move. He stayed rooted to the spot in front of me.I lifted my hand and reached for his face, rubbing his cheek warmly with a small smile.“Robert,” I said softly, “take the rest of the guards outside. Make sure things are run smoothly. Have them secure the doors. Then come back and stand with me.”I spoke in
The Don and Her Alpha 028
“No more Romanis, you said?” I asked aloud, and immediately, all eyes turned to me.Several people in the room stood up in alarm, startled by how I had appeared inside without warning. Others remained seated, staring openly, confusion written across their faces as they tried to place who I was.Dominique, who looked genuinely taken aback by my sudden presence, rose from his seat slowly.“I thought this was a private gathering,” he said coolly. “Do we now allow just anyone to walk in here?”“Not just anyone,” my family lawyer, Finn, said from where he stood. “But the surviving daughter of the late Romanis.”Everyone gasped and began whispering among themselves, some rising slowly from their seats while others leaned closer, curiosity and shock rippling through the room. Dominique let out a nervous laugh, one that sounded too loud in the sudden tension.“Don’t listen to her,” he said quickly. “She’s an impostor. The family all died. We all saw it in the news.”I tilted my head at him, s

Sophia’s POVI shook off what Sam had just said. Whatever that meant, whatever it implied, I would deal with it later. Right now, I had a mission to focus on.I reached for my phone and dialed a number from memory.“I’m here now,” I said when the call connected. “Come out at my signal.”“Okay, boss,” the voice on the other end replied.I ended the call, slipped the phone back into my pocket, and stepped out of the car.I got out just in time to see Sam end a call of his own.“I just informed the hired men,” he said. “They’ll come for the guns and use it.”“And you’re certain they can be trusted?” I asked. I couldn’t afford a mistake. One slip would ruin everything.Sam looked at me, unimpressed. “When have I ever miscalculated?”That was answer enough.“You already hacked into the system, right?” Sam asked as we moved away from the car.“Yes,” I said. “Every access point, every camera feed. Nothing moves in or out without me knowing.”“And you remember the plan?”I let out a short bre

Sophia’s POV“Isn’t it too early for this?” Octavius asked.He had clearly just woken up. His voice was rough, his steps slow as he walked into the room and stopped when he saw what I was doing.I was arranging the guns on the table, lining them up carefully.“It’s seven in the morning, Octavius,” I said without looking up. “And I need to be out by eight.”That made him pause.He stood there for a moment, watching as I picked one up and began loading it with the special bullets I’d taken from the secret passageway. His confusion was obvious now, written all over his face.“Those don’t look normal,” he said cautiously.“They’re not,” I replied.I checked the chamber, then moved on to the next gun. Octavius shifted his weight, clearly unsettled, his earlier sleepiness gone.“Do you even know how to use a gun?” he asked after a moment.I didn’t stop what I was doing.“If I didn’t know how to use a gun,” I said, sliding the bullet into place, “you wouldn’t be watching me load it correctly
