The silence in the Moretti estate was deceptive, a brittle veneer over the storm brewing beneath. Despite Zane’s reassurances and the work his team was doing to counter Helena’s schemes, Maya couldn’t shake the tension that clung to the air. Helena’s alliance with the DeLuca family, once a vague threat, now loomed over them like a shadow.Maya sat in the suite, her hands wrapped around a cup of tea that had long gone cold. Reese was beside her, scrolling through the endless cycle of headlines and updates that seemed intent on spinning lies into truth.“They’re doubling down on this narrative,” Reese said, her voice sharp as she handed Maya her phone.Maya read the latest article, her stomach twisting.“Marriage of Convenience? Maya Davis’ Desperate Bid to Secure Power in the Moretti Family.”The insinuations were relentless, each one crafted to chip away at her character, her family’s name, and her marriage to Zane.“I can’t believe people are buying into this,” Maya murmured, her voi

The jet hummed softly as it soared above the Atlantic, its sleek interior a stark contrast to the tension that filled the cabin. Maya sat by the window, her fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns on the armrest. Across from her, Zane and Alex were locked in conversation, their voices low but firm.Reese, seated beside Maya, leaned closer. “You doing okay?”Maya nodded, though the knot in her stomach told a different story. “I’m just trying to focus. This feels bigger than anything we’ve dealt with before.”Reese offered a reassuring smile. “You’ve been through worse, Maya. And you’ve come out stronger every time. Don’t let Helena get inside your head.”Maya managed a small smile, but her thoughts drifted to the challenges ahead. Naples wasn’t just a city—it was a battleground.Arriving in NaplesThe team landed under the cover of night, their arrival carefully planned to avoid attention. Alex had arranged for transportation, and they were swiftly whisked away to a discreet hotel near

The evidence they’d secured felt like a victory, but Maya knew it was just a step in a much larger war. Back at the hotel, the air buzzed with tension as Alex worked furiously on his laptop, uploading and encrypting the data they’d retrieved from the freighter.Zane stood by the window, his silhouette sharp against the glow of the city lights. Maya sat at the small table with Reese, her mind racing as she tried to process everything that had happened.Reese broke the silence, her tone edged with concern. “We need to go public with this as soon as possible. The longer we wait, the more time Helena has to spin her narrative.”“She’s right,” Maya said, looking up at Zane. “If we don’t act now, she’ll bury this.”Zane turned, his silver eyes steady but cold. “We’ll release the evidence. But not yet. If we move too quickly, we risk exposing our source and tipping Helena off to how much we know.”Maya nodded, though the weight of the delay gnawed at her. Every moment they waited felt like g

The next morning, the atmosphere in the suite was tense but focused. Zane, Alex, Maya, and Reese gathered around the table, reviewing the evidence they’d retrieved and planning their next steps.Zane’s silver eyes scanned the documents in front of him, his jaw tight. “We have enough to prove Helena’s connection to the DeLucas and the smuggling operation. But Luca’s involvement complicates things. He’s not just running errands for her—he’s building his own game.”Maya frowned, her fingers tracing the edge of the table. “What could he possibly gain from this? If Helena goes down, won’t he go down with her?”Alex leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful. “Not if he’s planning to betray her. Luca’s always resented Zane for being named the head of Moretti Corps. Aligning with Helena might be his way of destabilizing Zane’s position, but turning on her at the right moment could give him the leverage to take control himself.”Reese scoffed. “So, he’s playing both sides. Typical sn

The Moretti boardroom was a place Zane had come to command with authority, but today, the air was different. Tension crackled like static, each board member shifting uneasily in their chairs as they waited for the meeting to begin.Maya watched from a private viewing room just outside, her green eyes narrowing as she took in the anxious faces of the people who held Zane’s fate in their hands. Beside her, Alex and Reese monitored the live feed, their expressions grim.“She timed this perfectly,” Alex muttered, his jaw tight. “The board was already uneasy with the fallout from her smuggling operation. Now she’s trying to tip them over the edge.”Maya glanced at him. “What’s in the envelope she sent them?”Reese snorted. “Probably another pile of lies. The woman’s entire strategy is built on fabricating evidence and creating chaos.”Maya clenched her fists, her chest tightening with frustration. “Zane can handle this. He has to.”Helena’s BombshellInside the boardroom, Zane stood at the
