Chapter 117 In the cover of darkness, Connor descended a hidden staircase concealed beneath a seemingly ordinary storage unit on the outskirts of the city. The dimly lit corridor led him to an underground bunker he had meticulously designed for utmost secrecy. It was a place where secrets were shared, alliances formed, and strategies hatched. Tonight, it was the setting for a crucial meeting with Orlando, a trusted confidant and a key player in their mission to take Michael down.

I check my phone and receive a message from Hannah saying that the place is on the third floor on the roof, which is only for VVIPs and, of course, for wealthy people who are constantly spending money on unimportant things. "Looks like this guy is wealthy," I whispered to Vittoria beside me as we entered the elevator. She nodded in agreement. "I can't believe that Hannah wants to reject him."

It was a strange relationship, both intimate and distant, both intense and restrained.
