Dane clearly saw Scarlet as Michael's greatest weakness, believing that he himself possessed no such vulnerabilities that could be exploited. But Michael knew better than that simplistic assessment. He understood from years of studying human nature that everyone had pressure points, including someone as seemingly invulnerable as Dane Creighton. The key was identifying those weaknesses and applying pressure with surgical precision.Michael had delivered clear warnings to that arrogant bastard before, making it crystal clear that he wouldn't remain silent while his sister was terrorized. But Dane was too stubborn, too drunk on his own power and privilege to listen to reason or heed legitimate threats to his safety.In a desperate effort to protect his criminal operations and shield his mother from the consequences of his actions, Dane had transformed his family mansion into a virtual fortress. The entire property was now surrounded by armed guards who moved about the grounds like a disc

Dane stood perfectly still for a long moment, his back still turned to her as he processed her accusatory question and considered how much truth he was willing to reveal. The silence stretched between them like a chasm filled with years of unspoken truths, carefully hidden secrets, and the growing realization that their relationship might never recover from this moment."I've got to leave immediately," Dane was softer than usual but carrying an undertone of finality that suggested this conversation was over whether she liked it or not."I'll send a professional repair team to fix whatever damage that animal and his thugs caused to our home. Pack whatever you need for an extended stay, because you're going to the farm tonight for your own safety."The echoes of her accusatory words hung heavy in the air like a toxic cloud as Dane made his way toward the door, his steps steady but weighed down with the burden of the recent confrontation and his mother's growing awareness of his true nat

Scarlet's head rested gently against Lincoln's broad shoulder as sleep gradually overtook her weary senses, lulled into peaceful slumber by the rhythmic and hypnotic hum of the plane's powerful engines. The steady vibration of the aircraft created a cocoon of tranquility around them, wrapping her in a blanket of drowsiness that she couldn't resist.It was only the gentle, melodious voice of the flight attendant that eventually stirred her from her deep slumber, causing her bleary eyes to flutter open like delicate butterfly wings greeting the morning sun.Although the private jet was impressively spacious and undeniably opulent, featuring leather seats that cost more than most people's cars and amenities that rivaled five-star hotels, it hadn't provided them with any meaningful relief from their bone-deep exhaustion.Rather than utilizing the luxurious sleeping quarters available to them, they'd simply leaned against each other throughout the long flight, seeking comfort and solace in

Scarlet sat gracefully across from Lincoln at their intimate table for two, her keen, observant eyes carefully studying every nuance of his expression with the attention to detail that only a woman deeply in love could possess.A smile of pure, unadulterated joy slowly spread across her beautiful face as she watched him, drinking in every detail of his handsome features. However, she couldn't help but notice with growing concern that he seemed completely lost in his own troubled thoughts, as if wrestling with some invisible demon that she couldn't see or understand.His eyebrows were deeply furrowed, giving his normally relaxed face a distinctly troubled and worried look that she'd rarely seen before, and his sharp, intelligent eyes stared off into the distance as if grappling with some complex, unseen dilemma that threatened to consume his attention entirely.Gently and with infinite care, Scarlet reached out and placed her delicate, soft hand over his larger one on the table, hoping

The morning sun's golden rays lit up the sleek, polished exterior of the magnificent private jet as it climbed smoothly into the vast blue sky. Below, it stretched out endlessly like an ocean full of possibilities and dreams.Dane settled in comfortably on the luxurious soft leather seats. The plane's interior was a clear display of wealth and power, with every amenity a demanding traveler could want.Chris, his essential and trusted assistant who had proven his loyalty in countless dangerous situations, joined him on this important trip. So did a carefully chosen team of highly trained men, all dedicated to protecting and serving their boss without question.They covered huge distances across continents, crossing land and sea with the focus of people on a serious mission. Finally, their luxurious jet landed gracefully at Rome's prestigious international airport, in Italy's eternal city.The journey had taken them over all sorts of stunning landscapes, from snow-capped mountains to va
