Chapter 81The Business SacrificeDamian's POVI sat in the conference room with five of the biggest investors in the country. They had just presented me with a deal that would make me one of the richest men in the world, but as I read through the contract my stomach started to turn."So let me make sure I understand this correctly. You want me to acquire the remaining Benson family assets and liquidate them as part of this merger?" I asked."Exactly. The Benson properties are worth about two hundred million but they're tied up in legal disputes right now. If you can acquire them and add them to the deal then we can move forward and you'll walk away with triple your current net worth," the lead investor said."And how exactly am I supposed to acquire assets that are currently in dispute?" I asked."We have connections with Caroline Benson. She's willing to sell them to you at a reduced price if you help her deal with some legal problems she's having with her stepdaughter. Something ab

Chapter 83The Mafia GhostDamian's POVI was in my office going through paperwork when my assistant buzzed. She said there was someone here to see me without an appointment. When I asked who it was, she said the man refused to give his name but insisted I would want to see him."Send him in," I said with a bad feeling in my gut.The door opened and a man walked in wearing an expensive suit. I recognized him immediately even though it had been almost fifteen years since I last saw him.Marcus Romano.He was one of the top enforcers back when I ran with the mafia. Seeing him standing in my office made my blood run cold because nothing good ever came from Marcus showing up."Hello Damian. It's been a long time," Marcus said and sat down in the chair across from my desk without being invited."What are you doing here Marcus?" I asked."Can't an old friend stop by to say hello?" he said with a smile that did not reach his eyes."We were never friends. We were business associates. Now tell

Chapter 85The HumblingDamian's POVI was at a charity gala that I could not get out of attending because my company was one of the main sponsors. I was standing near the bar talking to some investors when I saw Amara walk in wearing a dark blue dress that made her look stunning.She had not told me she was coming and from the surprised look on her face, when she saw me, she did not know I would be here either.I excused myself from the investors and started walking toward her when Victor appeared out of nowhere. He stepped right in front of me blocking my path."Well, well, well. If it isn't the great Damian Kane. The man who thinks he can have anything he wants," Victor said loud enough that people nearby turned to look."Victor. I don't want any trouble tonight. Just move aside," I said calmly."Trouble? I'm not causing trouble. I'm just stating facts. Like the fact that you stole another man's fiancée, trapped her with a contract marriage, and the fact that you're nothing but a c

Chapter 87The Legal BlitzDamian's POVI sat in my office at two in the morning putting together the most comprehensive legal package I had ever assembled in my career. This was it and there was no going back after I sent this to the District Attorney.The file contained everything and I mean everything about Caroline's crimes going back fifteen years, including the audio recording of her confessing to Elena's murder and the financial documents showing she stole over fifteen million dollars from the Benson Estate. It also contained fake invoices she used to drain money and the offshore accounts where she hid it all.But that was not all, because I also included evidence of her bribing public officials and threatening witnesses. I had the evidence of Caroline using her political connections to cover up her crimes. Every single piece of evidence had been verified and documented properly, so there would be no question about its authenticity.My hands hovered over the keyboard as I prepa

Chapter 89 Vanessa's StrikeDamian's POVI was leaving Amara's house after spending time with our daughter when I saw a familiar car parked across the street. My stomach dropped because I knew exactly who it was.Vanessa got out of her car and walked toward me with a smile on her face. That smile told me she was up to something bad."Hello Damian. We need to talk," she said."I have nothing to say to you Vanessa. Leave me alone," I said and tried to walk past her to my car.She grabbed my arm and said "I think you'll want to hear what I have to say. It's about Amara and the little secret you've been keeping from her."I stopped and turned to look at her and said "What are you talking about?""I know you're the Ghost Lawyer. I know you've been helping Amara while pretending to be someone else. And I know you were managing her inheritance this whole time while working with Caroline. Does Amara know about all of that?" she asked."How do you know about that?" I asked."I have my sources
