The Stolen Bride of The Ruthless Don The Man Behind the Calls
The rain had stopped, but the streets were still wet.Neon lights reflected against the black windows of the parked car, turning the abandoned street into a blur of red and gold.Enzo Moretti sat in the back seat, one arm resting lazily against the door.He had been silent for nearly ten minutes.The man sitting in the driver's seat knew better than to speak.Enzo's phone lay between his fingers.One message remained open on the screen.She met Julian.His thumb moved slowly across the screen before he locked the phone.“Julian.That name had not been part of his calculations.Victoria was supposed to help him take over the Moretti empire; she was Dante's weakness.Dante's obsession with protecting her, and the collapse of her family's reputation. Instead, someone bigger and more dangerous had quietly placed another weapon in her hands.And that weapon had a connection to the Hales family that Enzo hadn't anticipated.“Find everything you can about Julian,” he ordered.The driver nod

The Stolen Bride of The Ruthless Don The Contingency File
The warning followed Victoria long after she left the Hales headquarters.She saw that Amelia had already released a contingency file.She sat in the back of the car, staring through the tinted window as the city blurred past.Julian sat beside her, flipping through his phone while the two lawyers remained silent in the front.He had requested to meet Victoria in Paris and here they were.“What could she possibly have?” Victoria finally asked.Julian looked up. “That’s what we’re going to find out.”“She feels cornered you have the limelight her mother in cell”“And desperate people become dangerous when they realize they’re losing.”Victoria swallowed.

Every transaction led back to his company. Every hidden account Julian had uncovered was connected to money Mr. Hales had moved years ago. Money that had never belonged to him. Money that belonged to Victoria's mother. A sharp knock sounded against the door. He barely looked up. "Come in." The door opened. Three men in dark suits entered first. Then came the corporate auditors. Two federal marshals followed behind them. Mr. Hales immediately stood. "What is the meaning of this?" Nobody answered. One of the marshals stepped forward and produced an official document. "Mr. Hales, we have an order authorizing the seizure and freezing of selected company assets pending the conclusion of the investigation." His face c
