The boardroom inside Antonio Fashion’s flagship headquarters was unusually silent.

No PR handlers. No designers fluttering with fabric swatches. No stylists or camera crews. Just polished wood, glass, and ten individuals who had been hand-selected by Ximena herself.

Three luxury investors, two global retail partners, a digital strategist from Dubai, Rafael, and two of her most trusted legal advisors. The room pulsed with quiet importance, the kind that only came from power being carefully rearranged.

Ximena entered with no theatrics. She wore a bone-white tailored dress, clean lines, no jewellery, her hair swept into a sharp twist. Confidence radiated off her—not in bursts, but in steady, calculated heat.

Rafael followed behind, holding a thin folder in one hand and his phone in the other. He didn’t speak.

Ximena walked to the head of the table, set her tablet down, and offered a nod of acknowledgement.

“This isn’t a press preview,” she began, her tone cool but unyielding. “There’s no

    Miguel stared at Camila. Her face was stone, her eyes darker than before. “You know him,” he said slowly.Camila gave a small nod. “Everyone in this world knows Alvarez. He’s not a man. He’s a storm.”Leo leaned back in his chair, running his fingers through his hair. “Damn it. I hoped it wasn’t him.”Miguel’s jaw tightened. “Tell me everything.”Camila finally spoke, her voice low but sharp like a knife. “Victor Alvarez runs everything from the shadows. Drugs. Weapons. People. Even governments bow when he walks in. He’s not loud like other bosses. He doesn’t need to be. One word from him and cities burn.”Leo added quickly, “You think mafia bosses are dangerous? Alvarez eats them for breakfast. And now Tania and Carlos are under his wing.”Miguel’s fists clenched. “Then we cut his wings.”Camila’s lips curved in something that was almost a smile but had no warmth. “You don’t just cut Alvarez’s wings. You cut him, you die.”Miguel stepped closer to her. His voice was ice. “Then we die

    Miguel sat on an old chair inside the warehouse, his elbows on his knees, staring at the floor. The night was quiet except for the sound of typing. Leo’s fingers moved fast on the laptop keyboard. Camila sat at another table, cleaning her guns one by one. The smell of oil filled the air.Miguel had never worked with strangers like this before. He hated it. But Diego trusted them, and Diego had saved his life before. That was the only reason Miguel was here.Leo broke the silence first. “You’re making me nervous, man,” he said without looking up. “You keep staring at the floor like you want to kill it.”Miguel lifted his eyes slowly. “Just find them,” he said in a flat voice.Leo smirked. “Yeah, yeah, I’m on it. But these things take time.”Miguel stood and walked to the table where Camila was sitting. She was putting bullets into a magazine with steady hands. She didn’t even look at him when he stopped before her.“You’re good with guns,” Miguel said.Camila’s lips curved slightly, al

    Chapter 142Tania sat on a wooden chair in the big room. Her hands were tied in front of her with a strong rope. Carlos sat next to her, also tied up. Both of them looked exhausted and terrified.The room was big. Two strong men with guns stood near the door. They did not talk but only watched Tania and Carlos with cold eyes.Across the room stood Victor Alvarez. He was not a young man, but he looked strong and dangerous. He wore a black suit that looked very expensive. His face was calm, but his eyes were sharp like a knife. Those eyes made Tania’s stomach turn. She knew men like him. Men who smiled while planning to kill you.Victor Alvarez slowly walked toward them. His shoes made a soft sound on the floor. He stopped a few steps away and looked at Tania first. His voice was soft, but every word felt heavy.“You two made a mess,” he said. “A huge mess.”Tania raised her head. She tried to act brave. “We didn’t make a mess,” she said. “We had a plan.”Alvarez gave a small smile. “Yo

    Diego’s words kept ringing in Miguel’s head as he drove through the city.“If anything happens… find Leo and Camila. They can help you.”Miguel had asked who they were, but Diego only gave him two names and an address before passing out. The doctor said Diego needed rest, so Miguel left. Now, those two names were his only hope.He drove through dark streets, following the address on a small paper. After thirty minutes, he reached an old building at the edge of the city. It didn’t look safe. The walls were dirty, the windows were broken, and the gate was rusty.Miguel parked the car and stepped out. His hand stayed on his gun as he walked to the gate. The place was too quiet. He pushed the gate open, and it creaked loudly.Inside, the space was big and empty. There were old cars and a few metal tables. In the middle, a man sat with a laptop. His back faced Miguel, and he didn’t move when Miguel walked in.Miguel came closer, his boots making soft sounds.“Leo?” he said in a low voice.

    Miguel walked out of the hospital with heavy steps. The night air was cold, but his head felt hot. His fists stayed tight as he reached his car.He opened the door and sat down, resting his head on the steering wheel momentarily. His chest rose and fell fast.Diego was alive. That was good. But he was in bad shape, and the doctor said he might not wake up soon.Miguel had sat beside him for an hour, watching his friend fight for his life. He had held Diego’s hand and whispered, “Hold on, hermano. Please don’t leave me. Don’t leave her.”But Diego could not hear him. Tubes were in his nose, and machines kept beeping.Now Miguel was back in the car, trying to think.He started the engine but hadn’t driven it yet. His hands gripped the wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white.“Tania. Carlos.” He said their names like poison. His jaw clenched hard. “You took her. You hurt my friend. I swear I’ll kill you both.”He picked up his phone and checked the GPS tracker again. Nothing. The si

    Miguel leaned against the wall outside the hospital. He had been driving all night, thinking about Ximenna and about what had just happened. His stomach ached, but he knew he could not act recklessly. First, he needed to see Diego.Diego had been shot badly during the chaos. Miguel had brought him here, to the hospital, and now he had to make sure his friend stayed alive.He pushed open the hospital door and walked quickly to the front desk. “Diego Alvarez. Room seven. How is he?”The nurse looked at him with tired eyes. “He’s stable, but critical. You can see him, but only for a short time.”Miguel nodded. “Thank you.” He hurried down the corridor, each step heavy in his mind. The images of last night kept replaying—the gunshots, the cars, the black SUVs. And Victor Alvarez… he could feel the cold danger even now.When he entered the ICU, he saw Diego lying on the bed. Tubes ran into his arms, and a mask covered his face. He was pale, but alive. Miguel pulled a chair close to the bed
