I tossed it into my bag, heart thudding, and slipped out of the house quietly—heading straight for Philip’s place before Sebastian came back looking for the key card he forgot on his way to work. When I arrived at Philip’s penthouse, the place had an acrid stench of booze and regret. A smile lit up my lips—looked like someone was still bummed out about the load of sand dumped on him. Men like Philip didn’t deserve the mercy of being handed to the authorities. They deserved to be broken, piece by fucking piece, until nothing was left. He looked like a heap of junk—slumped on his couch, hair disheveled, skin oily with despair—and I rolled my eyes in disgust and exasperation before schooling my

It was an encrypted number with no contact name. When the screen lit up, I caught a glimpse of the message preview. The two words read, "Miss you." Vincenzo reached to turn off the screen almost instantly, his gaze flickering momentarily. Then, he returned to his paperwork, as if nothing happened.

Those few seconds stretched out longer than any kind of torture could've. It was over. I was finished. Three years of planning—every careful move, every kill, my flawless escape. And now, it was all ruined… because I lost control for one freaking second. But Alex didn't call me out about Sharon Goodman right away. Instead, he pulled a clear evidence bag out from a drawer. My gaze locked on it instantly, a sick weight crashing into my stomach. Inside was a photo—a small, worn, colored photo. It showed a girl standing on a hillside covered in wildflowers. She wore a white cotton dress, her smile so bright and pure. It was as if the sunlight had chosen her.

Philip's voice is laced with sickening joy. Alejandro grabs something from his shoe—a dagger—and throws it at Philip, pinning it against his collarbone. Philip screams out in pain, but it doesn't bring me any satisfaction. One of his men was about to shoot but Philip stops him with the wave of a hand. "Now, now," he groans, pulling out the sharp knife. "I think you should tell your wife about what happened to mommy dearest." When Alejandro doesn't answer, Philp does so in his place, "Mommy Genovese was murdered in cold blood by your wonderful husband, Zara.

The killer didn’t stay to watch. He walked out, back into the cool night air. Outside, the wind smelled of salt and ash. He lit a cigarette with one hand, shielding the flame from the breeze. The fire kissed the end of the stick, a glow pulsing with each drag. His eyes scanned the empty lot, then the skyline far in the distance. No sirens. No flashing lights. Celeste Marlowe was gone.

I'm sorry for what I saw, I was going to your floor to get some papers from Belinda" I didn't answer anything else. I went down to my floor and went to my office only to get my purse and go home. The way back home was very smooth, amazingly even the traffic decided to cooperate with me. As soon as I arrived, I parked the car but heard some shouts and a movement that seemed out of the ordinary coming from Philippe's house, it wasn't a party because there was no music, it was the shouts of people coming from inside. I was surprised to see Giovanna appear at the window of his house but her face was not good at all, she was trying to say something to me that I didn't understand right

Chest heaving, I roared back, “This is about my ex-wife! I did what needed to be done!” “You're belittling Sarah...” Mariano huffed, his tone shifting. “That’s the issue, Philip. Your decisions are driven by emotion.” “I didn’t spill the truth to Madam Olsen if that's what you're insinuating!” I reasoned. “Is that why you snatched the document containing the investigation on Sarah Mitchell from Madam Olsen?” Mariano's question hung in the air.

I'd burn it all down before letting scum like Christopher touch that. My phone pinged not even an hour later. Marco was efficient as always.
