I didn't let anyone dictate to me. My parents knew my nature and never tried to persuade or force me to do their will. What did a fired employee like him know about my father's killer?

“Joaquin wasn't just the mastermind of your father's murder. He was also the one who threatened your mother's best friend. The woman who should have comforted your mother after losing her youngest son called her a failed mother. Paige Wyndham didn't die of deep sorrow, Sin,” Wesley added.

I took out my gun, fired at the three security cameras in the hall, and aimed one bullet just above Wesley's head. Since I was using a silencer, there was no sound of gunfire, only the shattering of the cameras and the impact of the bullet on the wall.

The large room was suddenly silent after the sound of camera fragments falling to the floor ended. Everyone held their breath. Their eyes fixed on Wesley before slowly turning to me. Their faces were deathly pale, including Joaquin's.

“Aargh!” the woman at Wesley's side s

    [Sinclair]The police hadn't given me anything to eat or drink since they detained me. My stomach was hungry and my throat was dry, but I didn't complain. I sat on the floor and stared at the door, watching for anyone to come in.They searched my clothes and took all my personal belongings, my phone, watch, and wallet. I had nothing to help me keep track of time. The room had no windows, so I didn't know what the situation was outside.Neil would break through security if anything happened to Darcy and the children. The fact that he didn't oppose the police coming to see me was a good sign. I could focus on taking care of myself while in custody because my family was under the watch of my people.Someone opened the door and entered the room. Not just one, but several police officers entered with batons in their hands. I stood up and remained alert. So, that was the reason they were holding me in a windowless room.“Finally, the day has come,” the police officer standing at the front s

    [Darcy]My body trembled as I watched the three cars pull out of the driveway. Neil followed them, which calmed me a little. My head was spinning with shock, but I knew someone could help us.I took my phone out of my bag and called someone. The man answered after the first ring. “Mason,” I said nervously.“I know. I’m heading to the police station. Sinclair will be released soon,” he said, reassuring me.“Thank you,” I said, relieved.I took a deep breath to calm myself. Dashiell and Keane were in the bedroom. I went to find them and took my sons to breakfast in the dining room. I lied to Dashiell about his father. I told him Sinclair had to go to the office because of work.I followed my husband’s instructions and went to the office. I read the news to find out what had happened. The media reported that the new mayor had discovered evidence of corruption committed by Wallace during his four years in office.Strangely, they only implicated Sinclair as his accomplice and mentioned no

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   168|Fall into a Trap

    [Sinclair]Joaquin worked with the police to bring Conrad and me down. They offered him a reduced sentence if he was willing to frame me. I was careless and forgot that I had many enemies within the institution.The attack on that disastrous night was just a trap to allow the authorities to investigate my people and me. They wouldn't find anything in Conrad's organization, but they could manipulate the evidence and accuse us of stalking.They would know that Conrad and I collected all the evidence of Sean, Bridget, Joaquin, and several politicians who had issues with me. I was aware of the risks associated with my actions. Therefore, I kept my relationship with Conrad a secret.Fortunately, Giovanni helped me and my men escape the trap set by the police and politicians. They wouldn’t dare cause trouble for him because the SW Group was in his hands. He also held the secret of their involvement in that dirty business.“What’s that sound?” Darcy asked. “Who’s coming this early?”Hearing

    I forced Scott to tell me the truth that weekend. It turned out that enemies had tried to break into the house a few nights earlier. They dealt with the problem quickly, and I didn't wake up at all.Sinclair didn't ask me about it that night. I knew my bodyguard had reported everything to him. My husband probably didn't want to discuss the attack. I chose to remain silent. He protected me by keeping the attack a secret.We visited his family's graves on Sunday. The place was beautiful. Although the headstones were simple, flowers adorned all three graves. Sinclair must have assigned someone to do that.Dashiell told us a lot about his grandfather, grandmother, and uncle. His knowledge was quite detailed. He knew their birthdays, when they died, and their habits. Sinclair and the servants must have told him all that.Sinclair took us to Cullen’s grave. We walked there. Seeing the headstone, I didn’t feel disappointed or angry. His actions broke my heart, but I tried to understand. Desp

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   166|A Hectic Week

    [Darcy]After long days of interviewing job applicants, I could relax a little more on that Monday. My colleagues and I had a meeting in the morning to select the right people for our team. I needed a complete team, a ready-to-use space, and sufficient capital to apply for the business license.Isla, my former HR manager, helped us determine the right candidates to hire. Lydia and Vicky's input gave us many ideas to improve our team.“Thank you for your hard work,” I said. “Isla, contact everyone who passed the selection process. They can start working. I’ll handle the business permits. Hopefully, we’ll get the permits before the end of the year.”“What about your deputy?” Vicky asked. “You said you had a candidate.”“He’s on vacation and promised to come next Monday to introduce himself,” I replied.Lydia furrowed her brow. “Who is this person? Why won’t you mention his name?”I chuckled. “The man might break his promise. I don’t want to share my disappointment with you.”After the m

    Conrad chose his headquarters as our meeting place. His entire team was there, enjoying the food, drinks, and entertainment he had prepared for them. He suggested holding the event at the SW nightclub, but I refused.Giovanni had his ways and systems. He didn't copy my style of doing business. The place was too dark for us. Darcy would be angry if she knew I went there because the club had strippers.I was against such performances in front of a crowd, but I allowed dancers who wanted to give exclusive performances in a closed room. Even though officials protected the business, those corrupt people would not protect me if I got into legal trouble.“Guys, attention please. The man we've been waiting for has arrived,” Conrad called out.The place abruptly fell silent. People stopped talking, and the DJ paused the music. Those playing pool or darts halted their games. Everyone turned their gaze toward Conrad and me.“You did a good job. I appreciate it. People who committed the crime hav
