The Underboss’s Deadliest Mistake Chapter 10
The standoff broke. The heavy air inside the chamber shattered with a dull, sickening thud.Julian hit the cold floor on both knees in front of every top-ranking capo from both sides."Underboss!" The West Coast elders cried out in horror, their faces completely gray.Julian did not care about the eyes on him. He raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked up at me. His voice shook uncontrollably. "Genevieve, I'll sign everything. The shipping lanes, the harbors, the seventy percent equity. Take it all. I only want one thing. Come home with me. Marry me.""Punish me however you want. Just come home."Beside me, Nikolai's dark eyes turned lethal. His fingers tightened around his lighter. A brutal, suffocating aura filled the room.My face remained calm. I reached over, laid my hand flat over Nikolai's tense knuckles, and gave them a light press.The icy tension under his palm broke beneath my touch.I turned slightly to the secretary behind me. "Bring the file."A signed and s

Two years was plenty of time for the West Coast to rot from the inside out.The news of my death broke Arthur two years ago. His health collapsed. He became bedridden. Julian took full command of the family as Underboss.Without the dark-web financial grid I had built, and with the Great Lakes locking down every open-sea lane, seven major West Coast ports went dark one by one. Their capital dried up. The empire slid toward liquidation.With their backs against the wall, Julian led a delegation north on his own. They came to beg the Great Lakes to step in and absorb the ruins just to keep them breathing.Right now, in the inner council hall of the Great Lakes.I wore a tailored black suit with my hair pinned up. I sat in the high chair at the center of the long table, my face dead calm. Nikolai leaned back in his leather seat beside me. He played with a lighter in one hand, pushing the master seal of authority toward me without a word.Across the table sat the secondary envoys sent from

"Throw that West Coast collateral to the wolves. Let her take the fall for the federal freeze!"The council elder's roar ripped through the heavy oak doors of the boardroom."She was our collateral in the ceasefire. The feds want blood for a six-billion-dollar hole. Hand her over. Let the feds take her. It settles the score!"Inside the chamber, weapons racked one after another. The tension stretched tight like a drawn bowstring.I stood outside the door. My face showed nothing. I straightened the lapels of my black suit jacket.My legs had been torn open, infected, soaked in blood.Nikolai never killed me. He flew in the finest orthopedic trauma surgeons in the country to cut away the rotting flesh on my knees.He left a single standing order with every soldier under his command: anyone touches a hair on her head, they catch a bullet on the spot.Once my legs healed, I wasted no time on tears. I never pitied myself. By day, I shadowed the logistics team, memorizing the shipping algori

"Get out of my way! Let me through!"In the blinding blizzard at the Great Lakes border post, Julian pulled his sidearm. He pressed the barrel hard against the iron gate.A dozen heavy rifle muzzles swung toward his head in a heartbeat.A Great Lakes armored carrier blocked the middle of the road. Its heavy machine gun was loaded. Cold red laser sights locked straight onto Julian's chest."Step back, Underboss," the border captain said. His face was blank. His voice sounded like cold steel. "The checkpoint closed three days ago. Anyone who forces this gate breaks the ceasefire. We shoot to kill.""I just want Genevieve! I'm taking her home!" Julian roared, his vocal cords tearing raw. "Name your price, I'll pay it! Give her back to me!"The captain looked at him. Only cold mockery showed in his eyes.He wasted no words. He raised his hand and tossed a sealed evidence bag onto the frozen road.Inside the clear plastic lay a piece of white fabric soaked in dried, blackened blood. The edg

The wounds on my knees from the wine cellar never healed. They festered. Every bump on the road sent sharp, stabbing pain through my legs.I leaned against the window. Cold sweat dripped from my jaw with the pain. I did not shed a single tear.The snowstorm grew worse outside. The black SUV convoy crawled along the mountain pass outside the Great Lakes defense perimeter.A deafening blast tore through the storm.The front of the truck shuddered violently. The bulletproof windshield cracked into a tight spiderweb."Ambush! Black-market guns!"The driver never finished his sentence. Armor-piercing rounds punched straight through the steel door panels.The vehicle spun out of control. It flipped into a deep snowbank by the shoulder.A rush of blinding pain hit me. Warm blood trickled down my forehead, blinding one eye.The bodyguards sent from the West Coast did not look back at me. They kicked open the crushed doors and scrambled into the whiteout on all fours.Heavy boots closed in fast

The heavy manor doors slammed open under sheer force. The laughter inside died instantly.Chloe stood in front of the full-length mirror. Genevieve's sapphire tiara rested on her head. She held the hem of her gown, her eyes crinkling with smiles. Eleanor stood behind her with a glass of champagne, praise still lingering on her lips.Arthur and Marcus sat on the leather sofa. The ice cubes in their glasses clinked softly.Eleanor frowned when she saw Julian break in. "Julian? What is wrong with you? Why are you in such a rush?"Julian did not answer.He brought the biting wind from outside with him. His eyes were bloodshot. His chest rose and fell violently.He took long strides to the table. He slammed the yellowed, crumpled paper face down onto the marble.Julian's voice was hoarse. He locked his gaze on Arthur. "Look at it. Read what it says!"Arthur's brows drew tight. He cast a cold glance at the paper. "A piece of scrap paper. You barge into the main house screaming over this?""T
