Mrs. Leontis squared her shoulders, her eyes burning with a fury that made even the marble floors feel colder.

"Did you know," she spat, voice trembling with rage, "That... That... That your grandson-in-law and our daughter Layla have a past?"

The hallway froze.

The air seemed to shudder under the weight of her words.

Madam Rossi's spine stiffened as she turned to look at her husband. Mr. Rossi, usually the picture of calm command, looked suddenly tense, his jaw tightening. A muscle in his temple twitched.

After a beat of painful silence, Mr. Rossi exhaled sharply through his nose.

"Follow me," he said, voice low and grave. He turned briskly toward his private study at the end of the hall.

But Mr. and Mrs. Leontis didn't budge.

They stood rooted to the floor, their faces twisted in outrage, their bodies practically shaking from anger.

"You dare to hide something like this from us?" Mrs. Leontis snapped, voice rising again. "From our family?"

Mr. Rossi’s lips pressed into a hard line.

  • The son of a billionaire in disguise   A confession

    Detective Moreno turned the page in his file slowly as Antonio sat stiffly, eyes darting to the mirrored wall, his jaw already tense.“Mr. Rossi,” Moreno said, breaking the silence once more as he tapped the folder lightly, “Your father hosted the party where Kia Flores was last seen. A celebration in his honor, no less. That’s generous, considering the tensions within your family.”Antonio bristled. “It wasn’t personal. It was a business event.”“Ah, so watching a man who married into your family rise through your ranks and get an honor party that could’ve gone to your son wasn’t personal at all?”Antonio’s eyes flashed, but his voice stayed measured. “Kia proved himself useful to my father.”“Useful enough to ignore his background?” Moreno leaned in slightly. “A man with no legacy, no name, and yet somehow... he became the symbol of your family’s future. That had to sting.”Antonio shook his head. “I didn’t agree with it. But I accepted it.”Moreno stared for a beat. “And did your s

  • The son of a billionaire in disguise   A good man?

    The fluorescent light buzzed overhead, stark and unforgiving. In the sterile room, Detective Moreno sat behind a steel table, eyes sharp and calculating. Across from him, Alejandro Rossi leaned back, carefully composed, at first.Moreno began softly, almost reverent. “You know, Mr. Alejandro, Kia Flores was a remarkable man. From nothing to commanding respect in the Rossi empire ... that takes grit. Not many have that kind of strength. He earned his position honestly.”Alejandro’s lips twitched into a cautious smile. “He did. He is... talented. A good man.”“Indeed,” Moreno said, leaning forward, voice lowering. “Must’ve been tough, giving up your role to him though, wasn’t it? You know, the position you held at the Rossi subsidiary? The very one Kia asked for, and you handed over. That was a generous move.”Alejandro’s jaw tightened imperceptibly. “It was... business.”“Business,” Moreno echoed, voice a notch sharper. “But some would say it was more than business. Kia, a nobody, step

  • The son of a billionaire in disguise   Taking this personally

    The night air grew thicker with tension every passing second. Red and blue lights still flashed across the driveway, painting the walls and the marble steps. Rome stood near the ambulance as it drove off with Catherine and Maria inside, his eyes locked on the red taillights. His fists were tight at his sides. The moment they disappeared from sight, he snatched out his phone and dialed the number at the top of his list.Matthew answered on the second ring."Boss?""Where the hell is Rene?"There was a long pause. Not the kind of pause that came from thinking. The kind that came from fear."Boss... ummm... What do you mean? Isn’t he with you?"Rome’s voice dropped an octave, steely and dangerous. "Would I be calling you if he were?"Matthew went quiet. "I-I-I... What happened?"There was a long pause as Rome’s pacing started, tight and fast like a caged predator. "Damn it... He was at the party. Went into the bathroom. Never came back. Maria went looking for him... she found blood. Not

  • The son of a billionaire in disguise   Alive

    The night was lit up by flashing red and blue lights that spilled through the windows like ghosts. Outside, police sirens blared, and officers spoke sharply into their radios. The cold night air felt harsh compared to the heavy tension still hanging inside the mansion.A couple of guests rushed toward the exits, their dresses swishing and heels clicking on the marble floor. Phones lit up everywhere as people hurried to capture what was happening, as paparazzi also lit up the entrance with camera lights. No one spoke loudly, but whispers filled the air like a storm.“They arrested them? Both families?” a woman said quietly, gripping her purse tight.“Yeah, right here at the party,” her friend answered. “I can’t believe it. The Rossis and Leontis, just like that.”Another voice added, “Who thought their whole world could fall apart over a nobody?”“It’s crazy,” someone else said. “This might be the end for both families.”The whispers grew louder as people speculated. Words like scandal

  • The son of a billionaire in disguise   A cold strategy

    The silence stretched like a taut wire ready to snap.All eyes were locked on Maria.Rome Ford’s question still lingered in the air, hanging like smoke after a gunshot. The chandelier’s crystals quivered above, catching the fractured light, but no one uttered a word. Not really. The hush wasn’t empty... it was thick. Maria didn’t speak.She stood in the middle of the ballroom, frozen, lips slightly parted as if the truth teetered just behind her teeth. Her arms hung limp at her sides, her fingers twitching faintly. Her eyes were vacant, but glassy. Haunted.Bianca exhaled sharply... like a dam giving way.“Oh, for crap's sake,” she snapped under her breath.Then she moved, her heels cracking across the marble, fast, furious.“Bianca, no!” Antonio’s voice trembled in alarm as he lunged for her.But she shook him off violently, a wild twist of her shoulder. Her hair whipped, her chest heaving. There was something feral in her eyes, something that had broken free. The perfect veneer of

  • The son of a billionaire in disguise   Still pulling strings

    For a moment, Rome Ford didn’t move, but the silence around him cracked like ice under weight.“I honestly don’t know,” he said finally, his voice low, almost thoughtful as his eyes grew red with something of rage... or was it grief? Or maybe both. “Which one of you brought the poison to dinner first. But clearly, it’s already in the wine.”Mr. Leontis stiffened beside his wife, lips twitching.“Is this a trial, Master Ford?” he asked, just a little too slyly. “Because if it is, let’s not pretend the Rossis are saints.”“Oh?” Rome didn’t even blink.The Leontis patriarch turned slightly, eyes blazing now. “Perhaps you should ask the Rossis how they treated that poor boy before he ever became a household name in the corporate world... Before you ever whispered his name.”Layla’s heart sank. She felt it deep, in the pit of her ribs, crawling up her spine.Her father kept going, voice rising just enough to draw every ear in the hall. “Ask them what they did to him when he was barely more
