“Let me handle it.” Enzo stood up and straightened his shirt.

“No need.” I rose to my feet and walked toward the door. “The sooner they leave, the sooner the guests will be comfortable. I don't want to lose customers.”

I waited for the elevator to go down to the ground floor while thinking of a sentence to counter the accusations of the police who came to my club. They didn't tell my men the purpose of their visit. So, I had to guess it myself.

Arriving at the ground floor, I headed for the front door. After nodding to the security guard, I strolled into the room on the second floor. The waitress opened the door, and her colleague served food and drinks on the table.

I sat down, awaiting the arrival of the troublemaker. I put an ice cube in a glass and poured scotch into it. I took a sip of

    The culprit eliminated lots of evidence in the hotel room and all traces of him being with the woman. He planned the event thoroughly, prepared all the details, and the person he could blame.I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I stayed at that hotel because I was on vacation. I was at the bar that night with Neil and Scott. We only had a drink before retiring for the night. The young woman greeted me and sat beside me, nothing more.Conrad found a piece of evidence that showed Giovanni's daughter had an affair with his bodyguard. The vile man had forgotten to delete a video of them vacationing on a yacht. It was just the two of them, and they were there without clothes.“Boss, that video is fake,” Luigi, his right-hand man, claimed.“You were Leonora's bodyguard. Your job was to protect her, including keeping her chaste until she married.” Giovanni returned the tablet to Neil. Then, he suddenly grabbed Luigi by the neck. “Bastard! You tarnished my daughter and killed her.”“I

He had a grudge against me for something I didn't do.His daughter died ten years ago in a hotel. I stayed there, but we didn't know each other. Even though there were no fingerprints, semen, or footage showing evidence of me coming to her daughter's room, he didn't care.That man repeatedly tried to kill me. He sent snipers, his best men, and hitmen, but I barely passed through death.

After attacking me and my son, he complained to Sean. His drugs had nothing to do with me. Fernandez's group

    I was surprised to see that the hall was in good condition. The police officers had destroyed other places, but the room was untouched. Kirsten and I joined the other dancers and instructors in the center of the room.Lydia approached me. She held my hand tightly. Feeling the coldness of her palm, the woman must have been frightened by the police surrounding the club. The other employees also looked worried. I looked at Davina. She glared at me.“Attention everyone,” Enzo exclaimed. He stood in the doorway, looking at all of us. "You guys go home. Today's conditions make it impossible to continue training. I'll contact you when you can come again.“Be careful where you step because those crazy cops broke a lot of mirrors and glass. Stay in your places for your safety. Do not travel anywhere until the situation is under control,” he ended.“Today should be a happy day,” Lydia muttered.“Everything will be fine. There's no way Sinclair would stand by and watch such an act,” I consoled.

    [Darcy]Taylor didn't exaggerate. I understood why she and Heather thought I was a bad girl who had many lovers and wasted many boys. My position as head cheerleader during my school days caused that.I was beautiful, talented, and famous. Many people wanted to be my friend or boyfriend. Of course, many were jealous of me. They might have spread rumors about me to ruin my reputation. I made it worse with my arrogant attitude.I thought David was the worst case in my life. I didn't expect there to be another more painful case. Someone accused me of causing a man to end his life. I didn't even know the young man.“Good morning, Darcy!” Lydia greeted me in the locker room.“Good morning,” I replied.“Listen. I have two pieces of good news!” She took my hand and pulled me to sit down.“What good news? You went to the doctor yesterday. Is Edith well?” I asked.Lydia nodded. “Yes. She has good digestion and no trauma from the rotten egg. My mom went home today after finding a nanny who love

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   92|Fake Marriage

    I left that place. The family's conversation was none of my business. Knowing the rest of the family knew that woman's secret was enough. I knew her husband and daughter. They would never forgive her for what she did to Ivy.Henry and Viola witnessed the woman's change in demeanor but didn't know why. They asked me because they thought Ivy and I fought. Since I was grieving the loss of my mother, I didn't bother with their family matters.Everything became clear, and Poppy got her punishment. What she did broke my heart. I couldn't believe she could do such a horrible thing to her best friend just out of jealousy. But I was used to betrayal. I would recover from it.“Enzo called you,” Neil reported as I entered the car.I accepted my phone from him. “Did he find the rings?”“The culprit is Davina. He's waiting for your next order,” he added.“Do whatever he thinks is best. I only need the rings,” I said.“Enzo sent someone to deliver the rings to your house,” Neil replied.“We're goin

    [Sinclair]“Do you think she'll see her mom?” Neil asked.We were in the car, in the parking lot of a hotel. After giving the envelope to Ivy, I left her in the room. I watched her open the envelope and read the contents on the security camera.Although I couldn't see her expression, I knew the information made Ivy angry. She stayed in the room for a long time without doing anything. She only sat and looked at the vase of flowers in front of her.“She'll be seeing Poppy tonight. After being tormented for fifteen years, she won't wait until tomorrow to confirm everything,” I answered.Ivy stood up and took the envelope with her. I closed my tablet screen and stared at the hotel door. A car pulled up in front, and Ivy exited the lobby. She entered the SUV after the security guard opened the door.“Follow her,” I ordered.Neil drove the car and kept his distance from Ivy's vehicle. We had to be careful not to let the driver or the woman realize we were following them. I couldn't let her
