Chapter: Chapter 138 The End Robert’s POVMy job is simple: protect Alessandra at all costs. But as I stand here, watching everything unfold, one thought keeps repeating in my head—I’ve failed her.I should never have stayed behind at the hospital, no matter how much she insisted. Alessandra may be strong, but I should’ve known better. I should’ve been there, more alert, more prepared. That woman who pretended to be hit? I should’ve seen right through her. Everything is finally falling into place, and the truth hits me like a punch to the gut.I know who Diana is. I’ve figured out who Emily and Olivia really are. And those three idiots hiding behind their ridiculous code names? Yeah, I know them, too.It was them—we passed them on the road earlier. The bodies scattered across the pavement... the blood... It all makes sense now. Alessandra—Matriarch Alessandra—is in serious danger.That’s why I don’t waste any time. My foot slams down on the gas pedal, racing us past the chaos on the road. Stopping isn’t an option

Chapter: Chapter 137 The WarehouseSandra’s POVWe pull up to the warehouse, and the moment I spot the front door slightly ajar, I know it’s time. I drive inside, parking with purpose as the tension in my chest tightens. Locking the door behind me, I take a deep breath, bracing myself for what’s next.I watch Alessandra step out of the vehicle, her face calm—too calm. She doesn’t look scared, like I thought she would. Instead, she’s asking, “Where are we now? Are they gone?”I pause. What? Does she seriously think I’m here to save her?A twisted laugh threatens to escape my lips, but I swallow it down. Instead, I turn toward the backseat and yank open the door. My fingers grip the cold steel of the sniper rifle. The weight of it feels satisfying in my hands, a reminder of the power I hold.Without missing a beat, I swing the rifle around and aim it straight at her. “On your knees, now!” I command, my voice as sharp as the edge of a knife.For a second, her eyes widen, but then realization sinks in. She knows now. She’s

Chapter: Chapter 136 The CustodyBrandon’s POVI never thought I'd find myself here. In custody. The cold metal of the handcuffs still lingers on my wrists even though they’ve been removed. My mind is racing, struggling to keep up with everything that’s happened. How did I get here?I’ve already contacted my family lawyer. He promised he’d help—at first. But then he learned that bigger forces are involved, and he left me to fend for myself. I don’t blame him, though. When powerful people decide you’re guilty, it doesn’t matter what the facts are. According to them, I committed a crime too big to ignore, and they want me to pay for it, no matter who I am.But how do I make them see I’m innocent? How do I prove I’ve been framed? The evidence stacked against me is so clear, so detailed, that even I would think I did it if I were on the outside looking in.It feels hopeless.I sit in the interrogation room, staring at the dull gray walls. The weight of everything crashes down on me. But the thought of Alessandra pushes t

Chapter: Chapter 135 Like Terrified RatsDiana’s POVOut of nowhere, Olivia, Emily, and I suddenly see Viper, Red, Jinx, and Blade fall to the ground, each with a bullet wound to the head. Blood pools around them, dark and terrifying, staining the ground beneath them. The sight makes my heart race, and for a moment, I can’t believe what I’m seeing. My breath catches in my throat, and time seems to stand still. I’m in shock, completely blindsided by the sudden violence. How could this have happened? One moment, we’re in control, and the next, everything’s gone to hell. But as I watch them fall, one after another, the horrifying reality hits me: we’re under attack. We’re not safe. We never were.This can’t be anyone but the police. Who else would come at us like this, so precise, so deadly? And it’s my fault. My fault we didn’t get out sooner. My fault this mission is hanging by a thread. I should have listened to Viper when he told us to leave. We should have been long gone, but I hesitated. And now they’re dead—Viper, Red, J

Chapter: Chapter 134 Sandra Saw It AllSandra’s POVI steady myself in the cramped toilet, heart pounding as I carefully position the sniper rifle out the narrow window. The cold metal of the trigger grounds me, and I take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts.Through the scope, I zoom in to 8X. Alessandra finally comes into focus as she steps out of the law firm. She looks composed, but there’s a tension in her movements that makes my gut clench. Something’s wrong.In the distance, off to the right, a group of people is watching her with an intensity that makes my skin crawl. Their eyes are locked on Alessandra, and the cruel twist of their lips sends a chill down my spine. They’re like predators circling wounded prey, relishing the kill before it even happens.I should take the shot now, end this. It’s the perfect moment. Then Brandon would finally be free, and he’d be mine. But something holds me back. These people, whoever they are, might be more dangerous and I need to know why they’re after Alessandra.As

Chapter: Chapter 133. Take Her AwayDiana’s POVAs Viper deftly tosses a small canister of smoke into Alessandra’s car. We don't waste a second, swiftly moving to take control of the other vehicles in her entourage.Alessandra is being escorted by three cars: one at the front, one in the middle where she sits, and one at the rear. The plan is precise, and we execute it with the efficiency of seasoned professionals.Olivia and Emily take on the first car. They expertly deploy another smoke canister, filling the vehicle with a thick, suffocating fog. Meanwhile, I focus on the rear car, tossing a canister of my own into it. Smoke quickly engulfs all three vehicles, forcing their occupants to open their doors, desperately gasping for fresh air. Even Alessandra, who had been hysterically screaming moments earlier, is silenced by the choking haz

Chapter: Chapter 52 The DinnerLuke’s POVI arrived at Gabriel’s house at exactly 7:57 PM. I was supposed to pick her up at 8 PM, but I wanted to be that gentleman who arrived earlier than agreed. I walked up to the door and knocked immediately, just as I checked my watch.“Oh! My love, I’m coming!” she called out, her voice almost too eager, as though she knew exactly who it was at the door. There was something about the way she said it that made me smirk—she sounded like she was trying to spite Gabriel with our date tonight.Scoff.Women. Always so dramatic—so shallow-minded. If only she knew this was all Gabriel’s doing. She’d run ten miles away from me if she understood the danger she was really in. But no, she was walking straight into her death, completely unaware.The door creaked open, and before I could say another word, she pulled me in for a tight hug. Right in front of Gabriel. It was almost too perfect. She wanted to make a point, but she didn’t realize how much she was playing into my hands.Gabr

Chapter: Chapter 51 Emmanuella the Fool Emmanuella POVI lay on the bed in the bedroom, trying to stay as far away from Gabriel as possible. He had been acting strange ever since I came back home.No signs of jealousy, no signs of discomfort. He was just so relaxed, as if he couldn’t care less about anything I did.I mean, I knew this about him before. It wasn’t exactly a surprise. But come on, if a man were to drop me off the porch of our home, I should at least see some kind of reaction—just like I did when he brought home a fake aunt.I was scrolling through my phone, flicking through every blog that had posted the article from the anonymous blog accusing me of murdering Roy and the others.Suddenly, I saw another update from the same anonymous blog.I didn’t know how the handler of the blog was doing it. Even though I wasn’t following them, the blog kept showing up in our faces like it was hunting us.But this time, instead of a caption that made me feel vindicated and at ease, the headline read:"The killer of the thre

Chapter: Chapter 50 Told GabrielLuke’s POVI smirked inwardly as I watched Emmanuella. She had just called her husband a useless bastard and confirmed that if I was serious, she’d leave him for me in a heartbeat.“Excuse me,” I said to her, rising from my seat. Without another word, I walked out of the coffee shop.Standing near the corner of the shop’s exterior, I positioned myself strategically. The tall glass wall of the coffee shop would make it easy for her to see me without hearing anything from the outside. I wanted to make sure she knew I hadn’t left just yet.I covered my mouth with my palm and dialed Gabriel’s number. The thick glass wall between us ensured she couldn’t hear me, but I wasn’t taking any chances.“Hey, Gabriel!” I said as soon as he picked up.“I swear to God, Luke, if you—” he began, immediately threatening me. He didn’t like how I’d handled the situation with the bodies. I did kill people whom he had not sent me to kill. But he should’ve known by now: I was clearing the path for us.“Don’t

Chapter: Chapter 49 At the Coffee ShopLuke’s POVI smirked inwardly as I watched Emmanuella sit at the table at the coffee shop. Her eyes were swollen. I could easily see that she did not sleep all night long.“Do you know him?” she asked me all of a sudden, leaning her head forward like she was trying to keep a secret.“Know who?” I asked, pretending to be confused. I didn’t know whom she was referring to.Of course, when she stepped down their stairs earlier, she looked like someone who was surprised to see me and Gabriel whispering. But if only she knew. Scoff!“I saw you two talking. Is there something I should know that I don’t?” she asked me again.I smiled at her boldly now. Aside from the fact that I know how to take people out of the way—if you know what I mean—lying was also another area of my specialty.“Well, he was asking me if I was the attorney and was trying to get you out of this mess,” I said to her.“And what did you say?” she asked me with a brisk voice like she was desperate to hear what I was going t

Chapter: Chapter 48 Rebecca Accusation ContinuesRebecca’s POVI smiled back at him. I knew I hadn’t committed the crime. No matter how many blue documents he placed on his table, even if they had a picture of me holding a knife and slicing a throat, I’d know the evidence had been altered, and I was ready to sue.“You’re smiling?” the detective asked, clearly shocked to see that even in this situation, I was smiling at him.“I’ll give you one last chance to confess,” he said, his voice firm and threatening. “Or else, I promise you, you’ll rot in jail for the rest of your life.”“I didn’t do anything wrong,” I replied confidently.The detective scoffed, shaking his head. “You don’t understand the gravity of the situation you’re in, do you? We have a case built against you. A very strong one.”I leaned back in my chair, my arms crossed. “You can keep trying to spin your web of lies, but it’s not going to work. I’m innocent.”Just then, he opened one of the documents on the desk and turned it toward me, pushing it closer.Inside the fo

Chapter: Chapter 47 RebeccaRebecca's POVI stepped down from my limousine gently. I was on my way to a business meeting for a new initiative where we would now be selling automobiles—a different niche of business than I was used to.This was very challenging. But despite all the challenges, I couldn’t help but hear the rumors spreading around.“The wife of CEO Gabriel Moretti is accused of the murder of two people.”At first, I felt empathy for him. I mean, yes, I was one of those seeking absolute revenge on him so that he might learn his lesson, but now his wife has found herself in the midst of a murder accusation.That was pitiful. So, I decided to release my grip on revenge for the moment and just mind my own business. Making this new business flourish, just like my other businesses, was all I aimed for right now.“You fucking monster, you killed two people,” my Instagram account was bombarded.There were people who still thought I was the wife of Gabriel Moretti. And as such, I wondered if they even had a

Chapter: 14. News to The Mother"We have news for you, Mother," Michael said. "Mother?" Alda thought.She could not believe that Michael's mother could look so young, judging by how big and grown Michael was. And at the same time, she could not help but wonder about her age.Although Alda had looked at Mrs Draper with some kind of respect and admiration, it was not the same as how Michael's mother looked at her."Leave us," Mrs Draper ordered, looking at Michael with some judgment, which Alda noticed and understood as something not right. But if Michael was to leave, it was a lie. Marcus had already come to Alda, and the whole place was now filled with silence even when Michael walked to the table to pour himself some wine into a glass.Marcus sent his hand forward and said nothing more.Alda understood this, and to this, she acted promptly and began walking to the exit, with Marcus following behind her.Alda could feel the sense of tension in the room as she was leaving. However, she hoped that whatever happened wo

Chapter: 13. Eat, SIgnThere was a common expression on the faces of the five ladies who had just entered, and even though Michael had instructed Alda not to stand from her seat, she saw the expression and wondered what it was about."They are scared to serve him food. It must be because the two individuals were beaten to a pulp."Each one of the five ladies laid down the trays in their hands on the table, opened them, and the enticing aroma of the food made Alda begin to salivate even more.It was at this moment she knew she was hungry, and hence, she craved the food in her hands so much. However, at this moment, her thoughts consumed her, and she continued to ask herself what her siblings had eaten.She had left both of them in the home trailer, and she had not been home in two days now, all because they sacked her from her two jobs on the same day, and she got a new job at the Alchemy strip club. Now, she had met someone new, and she was supposed to sign a marriage contract with him."This is all for the

Chapter: 12. Eat and Drink. The LawyerMarcus entered. Of course, Michael had instructed him to do so, and Alda bore witness to it. Finally, Alda had peace of mind about Michael. "He is not so bad after all," she thought. "I can cope with him for the duration of the contract," she thought again.Just as Michael had instructed, she followed slowly behind Marcus, who was now leading her towards the big dining room. Such a place Alda had never seen before."Why is the table so big?" she asked as her eyes widened at its beauty, and she let her fingers down onto the table, feeling the texture of its worth."These are so expensive! My sisters would be inclined to believe this kind of dining exists at all in the world," she said.But to every one of her questions and statements, Marcus did not answer. As for him, he must keep the instructions from the master, and whatever Alda said, he must not respond to."Hey, wife! I have a gift for you."Alda heard and was shocked. Michael had already started calling her "wife" and talking mo

Chapter: 11. Deliver the News11. Deliver the NewsThe door to the room opened, and Marcus entered. At that moment, the doctor was no longer behind the door. "We will head to the master now," Marcus said, standing by the door. This was the message for Alda to come out of the room, which she understood.Before she walked out of the room, she looked at Marcus’ hand, but there was no result. The doctor had told him the result but did not give it to him to pass on to his boss.Many thoughts raced through Alda’s head as she wondered what the doctor had told Marcus. Although she knew she was indeed a virgin, she could not understand why the result scared her. She wondered if it was not about the result but the reward of the contract if she did or did not forego it.As they left the hospital, Marcus opened the car door for Alda again, and she sat in the back seat in comfort as they drove off gently. Alda saw how Marcus immediately retrieved his phone from inside his suit and pummeled the face of the phone with his finger

Chapter: 10. Verification"This way, ma'am." Marcus walked, leading Alda downstairs as soon as she was dressed. She wore a perfectly fitted floral gown, which looked so beautiful on her as if they indeed made the dress for her. But the house was magnificent, and Alda continued to glance at the wall decor as she walked, following Marcus. Even though she said nothing, even at this moment, it was obvious on her face that she loved what she saw. She wanted a life of such wealth and hoped that someday her wishes would come true. Marcus opened the entrance door, and already several Rolls-Royces were waiting outside. Alda wondered if she was to get in one of those. And she was right—there were about five Rolls-Royce parked in rows. But two of them had a guard standing next to them. They were all dressed the same way. Black suit, waistcoat, inner white shirt, and a tie. Just as exactly as Marcus, and nothing different. And as soon as Marcus got closer to each of them, they bowed to him, which symbolized his posi

Chapter: 9. The Brewed Morning Alda opened her eyes to a new morning, not in her usual home trailer and the disturbing honk of the passing cars, but in a beautiful mansion she had never seen before. She blinked a few times to adjust her vision and take in the grandeur of her surroundings. The room she was in was spacious and elegantly furnished, with large windows that let in the warm golden light of the early morning sun. As she sat up in bed, she noticed a tray of freshly brewed coffee and a plate of freshly baked pastries on a nearby table. The aroma of the coffee and the sweet scent of the pastries enticed her, and she could not resist reaching out for a sip and a bite. Just as sipped, and she took a bite, Alda felt a bit of sadness in her. This was because, in all of her twenty-two years of existence, this was the first time she tasted a better-brewed coffee and better pastries. Anything she has eaten in the past which they called coffee and pastries was nothing better but burnt coffee and dry crumbs. As
