The night air was heavy over the Moretti estate, thick with tension that even the glittering skyline below could not pierce. Isabella Voss moved through the penthouse corridors with silent precision, her crimson gown flowing like a shadow behind her. Every room, every hallway, and every reflection in the polished marble floors reminded her that the war for the empire had only just begun.Damian Moretti followed closely, his presence a constant mix of danger and reassurance. Gray eyes sharp and calculating, he scanned every corner of the estate, aware that even after Alessandro’s exposure, the threat was far from over. Kane’s network still lingered, and now, the uncertainty of hidden allies within the empire made every step a potential trap.“We’ve neutralized Alessandro,” Damian said quietly, voice low yet intense. “But the empire is fractured, vulnerabilities exposed.

The poisoned alliance they had carefully crafted was unraveling faster than anticipated, and Kane’s network had clearly learned from their previous moves. Every moment of false security had a price, and Isabella knew it was only a matter of time before the next strike came.Damian Moretti entered the study, gray eyes dark with intensity. He had been monitoring communications overnight, and the news he brought made Isabella’s stomach knot. “It’s worse than we thought,” he said, voice low, each word deliberate. “Someone inside our inner circle—someone we trusted—is working directly for Kane.”Isabella’s breath caught. “Who?”Damian’s jaw tightened. “I don’t know yet.
