Chapter 41 Gabriel Called Luke

Gabriel’s POVAs soon as she left the house, I sprang to my feet. It was no longer the time to wallow in despair because of her. It was time to take the bull by the horns.I called Luke again."Look, I'm done hearing about how you need time to plan or whatever. I need her taken out now. My life is spiraling into a complete mess, and I can’t just stand by and watch it fall apart," I said, my voice thick with desperation."Man, it's risky," Luke replied after a pause. "But if you want me to do it now, I will. Just know that if things go sideways, I'm bailing, and the trail might lead back to you."Luke’s words made me pause for a moment. But my determination burned hotter than my fear. It had to be now, not later."Do it, Luke. I expect good news soon," I said before collapsing onto the edge of the bed.I was about to settle in for the night in the living room when the front door suddenly flew open."Emmanuella?" I blurted, shocked by her dramatic entrance. Why would she do something li

Chapter 42 Luke The Next Day 

Luke’s POVThe morning air was cool, sharp, and brimming with the promise of chaos. I adjusted the lapels of my crisp suit, the polished leather shoes clicking against the pavement as I strode to the rental shop. In one hand, I carried a sleek briefcase, its weight a perfect prop for the role I was about to play—a lawyer with all the answers.Gabriel had filled me in on Emmanuella: money was her god, her lifeblood. She would do anything for it. To win this game, I had to become the kind of man she’d listen to, someone who reeked of power and wealth.“I’ll take this one,” I said, pointing to a black BMW.“That’s $1,000 for 24 hours,” the rental guy replied without blinking.Gabriel had paid me in advance, and I could cover the cost. Flashing the bills felt almost too easy. After settling up, I slid into the driver’s seat, the hum of the engine as sharp and commanding as my focus. This wasn’t just a car—it was bait, another piece of the puzzle.For days, I’d been studying Emmanuella like

Chapter 43 Go To Emmanuella 

Luke’s POVWhat I did to Roy wasn’t personal. It was business. Simple mathematics to make my claim believable to Emmanuella. Everything I did was calculated—not a step wasted, not a thread left dangling.To make the discovery inevitable yet misleading, I made sure to leave a trail of footprints leading to the river. A carefully choreographed false direction—one that couldn’t be traced back to me. The main objective was simple: the body had to be found. And soon.Under the dim light of my car’s cabin, I pulled out a new burner phone. This one was fresh, purchased solely for this operation. Logging into a newly created blog with fake details, I typed out an article with clinical detachment. The headline was sensational, the tone inflammatory. I linked Roy’s death to Emmanuella, weaving a narrative of betrayal and rage. According to my fabricated story, she was the jealous lover who had struck back after a heated argument the night before.Moments after publishing, the article started gai

Chapter 44 Visit Her 

Luke’s POVI arrived at her address and stepped out of my car, the soft click of the door echoing in the quiet suburban neighborhood. The air was still, almost suffocating in its silence. Not a single car drove by, and only the occasional rustle of leaves broke the monotony. Perfect. No witnesses, no distractions. I adjusted my coat, slipping my fake badge into my hand, and walked up to her door.I knocked, my knuckles rapping sharply against the wood.It took a moment, but the door swung open, revealing her. Her eyes, framed by dark lashes, locked onto me with a mix of annoyance and curiosity.“How can I help you?” she asked, her tone curt.“Detective Moscow,” I said, flashing the fake badge that did not even carry my name. But I know she didn't pay attention to it. “I have some questions about Roy’s murder.”Her lips pressed into a thin line. Then she rolled her eyes. “Look, Detective, I know Roy is dead, but I didn’t kill him.” Her voice was sharp, indifferent, as though she were d

Chapter 45 Who Was At The Door

Luke's POV“It’s me, Diana!” an old woman’s voice shouted from the other side of the door. From the tone and familiarity, I guessed it was the neighbor.I glanced back at the mess I was desperately trying to clean. If I opened the door, she’d see everything. No, I couldn't afford that to happen. “She’s not home! Come back later!” I shouted back, keeping my tone sharp.“No!” she shot back with determination.“I can just wait for her in the living room, can’t I? It’s not the first time I’ve waited for her,” she added confidently.Some people truly had a death wish. Don't they?With no other choice, I opened the door, forcing a fake smile onto my face while blocking the entrance with my body.The moment she noticed my stance, she took a cautious step back.“Who are you?” She asked, her wrinkled face twisting into a scowl as though she despised me at first sight.“You’re not Roy, not Matthew, not Anthony, and definitely not Zack. Who the hell are you? A new boyfriend?” Her tone was sharp

Chapter 46 Can’t Sleep

Emmanuella’s POVI gasped, letting out a sharp cry. My phone nearly slipped from my hand as I turned over on the bed. My heart raced. I couldn’t believe what I was reading.For hours, I’d been lying there, clinging to my phone and sighing every few minutes, waiting for a call from Attorney John—or at least, the man I assumed could help me. But now, reading this damning article, my mind spiraled into chaos.I scanned the words again, each one slicing through my composure."Am I the prime suspect because Cassandra is also dead?" I whispered to myself, my voice trembling.The article was gaining traction quickly. Hundreds of shares, thousands of comments. It wouldn’t be long before the police came knocking. My body froze as I imagined the interrogation, the accusations, the humiliation.I jumped out of bed. Gabriel was downstairs. Maybe he could help me. He was the man of the house, after all, and he should know what to do.I reached the door but hesitated, my hand hovering over the knob

Chapter 47 Rebecca

Rebecca'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 48 Rebecca Accusation Continues

Rebecca’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 49 At the Coffee Shop

Luke’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 50 Told Gabriel

Luke’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
