Chapter 61:Gun shot

Maria’s breath caught in her throat. It wasn’t Caroline. It was worse. Much, much worse. It was Maralyn, the woman she’d hired to... well, to handle a delicate situation. The situation involving Caroline’s triplets.“Maralyn?” Maria managed, her voice trembling despite her best efforts. “What… what is it?”Maralyn’s voice was ice, each word carefully chosen, each syllable dripping with a veiled threat. “It’s about the payment, darling. The… remaining balance.”Maria’s mind raced. The kidnapping. The ransom. The chaos that had ensued when… when things went sideways. The triplets had been rescued, thank God, but the whole operation had been a disaster. A colossal failure.“Maralyn, we agreed,” Maria said, trying to regain control of the conversation. “The full payment was contingent on… certain outcomes. Outcomes that did not, shall we say, come to fruition.”Maralyn chuckled, a chilling sound that made the hairs on Maria’s neck stand on end. “Oh, I’m well aware of the… hiccups, darling

Chapter 62: Dead body

Ancelotti stood rigid, the phone clutched in his hand like a lifeline that had just been severed. The hospital administrator's words echoed in his ears, each syllable a hammer blow to his carefully laid plans.“Jeffrey checked out this morning, sir. Against medical advice. He simply… left.”Ancelotti stared blankly at the expensive cityscape framed by his office window, his mind struggling to process the information. Jeffrey… gone? Vanished? It was impossible! He was supposed to be incapacitated, vulnerable, a pawn in Ancelotti's grand scheme.A surge of fury ripped through him. He slammed his fist against the polished surface of his mahogany desk, the sound reverberating through the room. "Damn it!" he roared, the sound echoing off the walls.He sank into his leather chair, his head in his hands. Years of meticulous planning, countless hours of careful maneuvering… all potentially for nothing. Jeffrey was the key, the linchpin that held everything together. Without him, Ancelotti's d

63:Suspect

It felt… appropriate. A stage set for the grim tableau that lay before me. Maralyn, sprawled awkwardly near the crumbling well, her lifeless eyes staring up at a sky she would never see again.Damn it all to hell. This wasn’t the script. A messy, unforeseen deviation. I’d meticulously planned every detail, anticipated every contingency… except this. A careless mistake, a loose end left untied. It smacked of amateur hour, and I loathed it.The distant wail of sirens, faint at first, quickly crescendoed into a cacophony that shattered the stillness. Expected, yes. Welcome? Decidedly not.I closed my eyes for a fleeting moment, summoning a reservoir of calm I wasn’t sure I possessed. Panic was a corrosive poison, a luxury I couldn’t afford, not now. Not ever."Freeze! Show me your hands!" The shout was jarring, amplified by the oppressive silence that had preceded it. I obeyed, raising my hands in a slow, deliberate arc, allowing the officers to fully absorb the gesture. I needed to proj

64: The document

I knew they would come for her again. They were persistent, ruthless. They wouldn't give up until she was silenced for good.I needed to protect her. To shield her from the storm that was gathering on the horizon. But I also needed to uncover the truth. To unmask the puppet masters who were pulling the strings, to expose their motives, to dismantle their power.The kid. The one I had seen in the bushes near the dark place. He had witnessed too much. He posed a risk.I found him near the park a few hours later, loitering near the swings, his face pale and drawn. He tried to avoid my gaze, but I wouldn't allow it. I needed to assess him, to determine the extent of what he had seen, what he knew."You were at the abandoned building yesterday, weren't you?" I said, my voice low, devoid of menace, but laced with an undeniable undercurrent of authority.He hesitated, his eyes darting nervously. He was clearly terrified. He opened his mouth to deny it, but I cut him off."Don't lie to me," I

66: Returned

Ancelotti gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. The image of Maralyn's lifeless body flashed behind his eyes. Even though weeks had passed, the horror still felt fresh, like a bad dream he couldn't wake up from."J3ffreey," he muttered under his breath. "If he's out of that hospital… it has to be him."The abandoned house… the police reports… it all pointed to J3ffreey. Ancelotti shivered, even though the car's heater was blasting. He remembered the grainy security footage – a figure that looked like J3ffreey lurking near the abandoned house just hours before Maralyn was found.He banged his fist on the dashboard. He'd seen J3ffreey with Maralyn just days before, arguing near the old docks. Maralyn had looked terrified, and J3ffreey... well, J3ffreey had that cold, unsettling look in his eyes."But the fingerprints..." Ancelotti’s thought got cut. He ran over the memory many times and was still finding it hard to believe.He hadn't told anyone about seeing J3ffreey and Maral

66: It was a trap!

"I know, Ancelotti," Caroline said calmly. "But the police aren't convinced. They need concrete proof. And right now, all we have is your suspicion."Ancelotti ran a hand through his hair, frustration building inside him. "So what are we going to do? Just sit around and wait for J3ffreey to get away with murder?""No," Caroline said, her eyes narrowing. "We're going to find that proof ourselves."Ancelotti looked at her, a flicker of hope igniting within him. "How? How are we going to do that?""I have a plan," Caroline said, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "But it's risky. Very risky."She leaned forward, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I'm going to get close to Maria. I'm going to infiltrate their inner circle. I'm going to find out what really happened to Maralyn."Ancelotti stared at her, his mouth agape. "You're crazy! That's insane! Maria is dangerous. She'll see right through you.""I'm a lawyer, Ancelotti," Caroline said, her eyes sparkling with determination. "I know

It was finally over. Jeffrey and Maria had been convicted. Justice had been served.Ancelotti was right behind her, hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable.

They had won.As they descended the steps, the reporters surged forward."Caroline!

68: Digging deeper

The city lights flickered as Caroline and Ancelotti drove through the streets, their minds racing with questions. Sarah was missing, and they had no time to waste.Caroline tightened her grip on the folder she found in Sarah’s apartment. The missing page, the offshore accounts—this was more than just leftover business from Maria and Jeffrey’s crimes. Someone was still pulling the strings.“I don’t like this,” Ancelotti muttered, keeping his eyes on the road. “Whoever took Sarah had a reason. And if they wanted her dead, we’d have found a body by now.”Caroline swallowed hard. “Then that means she’s still useful to them. For now.”Ancelotti’s jaw clenched. “We need to figure out who’s behind this. Maria and Jeffrey are in prison. So who else had something to lose?”Caroline glanced down at the documents. “Someone still running their business in the shadows.”The realization sent a chill down her spine.Maria and Jeffrey were only a piece of the puzzle. They spent the next several hour

69: The war isn't over!

Hours later, Marco called with what they needed."You were right," he said over the phone. "DeLuca’s been moving millions through offshore accounts. I’ve traced transactions linked to illegal arms deals and drug trafficking."Ancelotti’s heart pounded. "That’s enough to bring in the Feds, right?""More than enough," Marco confirmed. "I’ll send everything over."With Costa’s testimony and the financial evidence, they had a case so strong that even DeLuca’s connections wouldn’t be able to save him.Caroline wasted no time. She drafted a full report, compiling every piece of evidence into a file that would be impossible to ignore.But they couldn’t go through local authorities.They had to take it to someone DeLuca couldn’t reach.*****The next morning, Ancelotti and Caroline met with a federal agent in a secure location.Special Agent Lucas Carter listened intently as they laid out the case. His expression was unreadable, but when they were done, he leaned back and let out a low whistl

70:Vincent Deluca

Ancelotti knew they had no time to waste. Vincent DeLuca was dangerous, and as long as he remained free, Maria had a powerful weapon in her arsenal. If they wanted a chance to stop Maria’s next move, DeLuca had to go first.The only problem? DeLuca was untouchable.His influence ran deep, spanning politicians, police officers, and even judges. If they wanted him arrested, they had to build a case so airtight that not even his power could save him.And they had to do it fast.Ancelotti sat across from Caroline in the dimly lit safe house, stacks of documents scattered across the table. The tension in the air was thick, but their determination was stronger."We need proof," Caroline said, rubbing her temples. "Something big enough that even his friends in high places won’t be able to sweep it under the rug."Ancelotti nodded. "I have a contact—an old friend in cybersecurity. If DeLuca has been moving dirty money, we can trace it."Caroline sat up straighter. "If we can prove money laund
