CHAPTER 141
The interrogation room remained tense.Victor's last statement had changed everything.For the first time, he was no longer resisting.He was cooperating.Slowly.Reluctantly.But cooperating nonetheless.Lorenzo sat forward.His pen remained ready.Peter looked unusually interested.Even the guards outside the room paid closer attention.Luca remained silent.Watching.Waiting.Victor rubbed his face.Exhaustion covered every feature.He looked like a man who hadn't slept in days.Perhaps he hadn't.Lorenzo broke the silence."Tell us everything you remember."Victor nodded weakly."The intermediary arranged the meetings."Lorenzo wrote."Go on."Victor swallowed."There were several calls.""Encrypted messages.""Instructions."Peter snorted."Look at that.""What?"Victor asked.Peter shook his head."People always think encrypted messages make them geniuses."The guards laughed.Peter continued."Meanwhile, they're making mistakes everywhere else."More laughter followed.Victor i
CHAPTER 142
The atmosphere inside the security office changed completely after Victor's statement. The investigation had finally moved beyond theories.Beyond assumptions. Beyond possibilities. Now they had something tangible. Identification. Recognition. A witness.Inside the conference room, Lorenzo stood before a large digital screen displaying dozens of photographs.Businessmen. Investors. Executives. Visitors. Everyone who had attended the private club during the relevant period.Several investigators worked nearby. The room buzzed with activity. Peter entered carrying breakfast. As usual.One investigator looked annoyed. "Do you ever stop eating?"Peter looked offended. "Do you ever stop asking stupid questions?"The room laughed. The investigator rolled his eyes. Peter sat down. "Proud of you.""For what?""You asked the dumbest question of the day."More laughter followed. Meanwhile, Victor was escorted into the room. His expression remained exhausted.Yet he looked noticeably calmer. The

The storm arrived shortly after sunset. Dark clouds covered the island. Rain battered the windows of the luxury resort.Thunder echoed across the coastline. Inside the penthouse lounge, Alessandro stood alone near the glass wall overlooking the ocean.His expensive suit remained flawless. His posture remained straight. His face remained calm. But only on the surface. The pressure was growing.Every hour felt heavier than the last. Every new development tightened the invisible noose around him.His lawyer entered quietly. "Still awake?"Alessandro didn't turn around. "Do I look like someone who can sleep?"The lawyer remained silent. That answer was enough. The room fell quiet except for the rain. Finally, Alessandro spoke."Any updates?"The lawyer hesitated."A few."Alessandro slowly turned. The hesitation alone irritated him. "Speak."The lawyer swallowed."The investigation team is reviewing the financial connections."Silence. "The shell companies?""Yes." Alessandro's jaw tighte
CHAPTER 144
The next morning arrived under gray skies.bThe storm had passed. But the tension remained.Inside the luxury resort, guests resumed their normal routines. Business meetings continued.Tourists returned to the beaches. Employees moved through the halls carrying trays and documents.Everything looked normal. Only a handful of people knew a silent war was unfolding beneath the surface.Inside the investigation office, Lorenzo stood before the evidence board. Several investigators worked nearby.Stacks of reports covered the tables. Coffee cups sat everywhere. Nobody had slept much. Peter walked in carrying breakfast. Again. One investigator sighed."At this point, I think you eat more than you investigate."Peter looked offended."Wrong." The investigator raised an eyebrow."Oh?" Peter nodded seriously."I investigate while eating."Laughter spread through the room. Peter pointed proudly. "Efficiency."Lorenzo ignored the nonsense. His eyes remained fixed on a report. One investigator ap

Night slowly descended over the island.The luxurious resort sparkled beneath countless lights. Music drifted from the restaurants.Guests laughed. Businessmen drank expensive wine. Tourists filled the beachfront walkways.To everyone else, the island remained a paradise.But inside the investigation office, nobody noticed the beautiful scenery.Every person was focused on one thing. The trail. The mistake. The opening they had spent weeks searching for.Lorenzo stood before the evidence board while investigators worked around him. Phones rang nonstop. Keyboards clicked endlessly. Fresh reports continued arriving.Peter walked inside carrying a coffee. Only one. The room immediately noticed. One investigator frowned."Just one coffee?" Peter looked tired."Be grateful I'm still alive."The room laughed. Lorenzo didn't. His attention remained fixed on a screen. The investigator who discovered the payment entered quickly."We found where the money went."The room instantly became silent
CHAPTER 146
Morning arrived with bright sunshine. The violent storm from two nights ago was gone. The ocean sparkled beneath the rising sun.Tourists crowded the beaches. Luxury yachts moved across the water. The island looked peaceful.But beneath that calm surface, pressure continued building. Inside the investigation office, nobody had gone home.Several investigators slept in chairs. Others worked through the night. Coffee cups covered every desk. The evidence board had expanded again.New photographs. New documents. New connections. The wall was becoming impossible to ignore. Lorenzo stood near the center of the room studying the latest reports.Peter entered carrying breakfast. Three sandwiches. Two coffees. A box of donuts. One investigator stared."Planning to feed the entire island?" Peter looked offended."This is called preparation." The investigator laughed."For what?" Peter sat down."The collapse." Several people looked confused.Peter pointed toward Alessandro's photograph hanging
CHAPTER 147
The message from the lawyer continued echoing inside Alessandro's mind long after the call ended.They found something. Only three words. Yet those three words felt heavier than a mountain.Alessandro remained frozen beside the window. The island below still looked peaceful..Tourists laughed. Music drifted from nearby restaurants.Palm trees swayed gently beneath the afternoon breeze. Everything appeared normal. His life, however, was no longer normal. For the first time in years, he felt genuine panic.Not concern. Not stress. Panic. His phone rang again. The lawyer. Alessandro answered immediately."Where are you?" The lawyer lowered his voice."My suite.""I'm coming." The call ended.Minutes later, Alessandro entered the suite without knocking. The lawyer immediately locked the door. Neither man looked relaxed. Neither man sat down.The atmosphere felt suffocating. Alessandro spoke first. "What happened?"The lawyer rubbed his forehead. "I received calls.""From who?""People I kn
CHAPTER 148
The next morning arrived with clear skies and calm waters. From the outside, the island looked exactly the same.Luxury yachts floated near the docks. Tourists crowded the beaches. Business executives attended meetings. Everything appeared peaceful.But beneath that calm surface, pressure continued building. Inside the investigation office, the atmosphere was more intense than ever.Stacks of documents covered every table. Evidence boards filled entire walls. Investigators moved nonstop. Nobody wanted to lose momentum.Peter entered carrying a tray loaded with coffee cups. One investigator looked up and sighed."Please tell me those aren't all for you."Peter placed the tray down. "Half."The investigator stared. "Half?"Peter nodded proudly. "I'm showing restraint."Laughter spread through the room. Even Lorenzo allowed a faint smile. Then another investigator rushed inside.His expression immediately caught everyone's attention. The room grew quiet. Lorenzo looked up."What happened
CHAPTER 149
The following morning, Alessandro woke after barely two hours of sleep.Dark circles had formed beneath his eyes.His mind felt exhausted.His body felt heavy.But his thoughts refused to rest.The suspicious login.The investigation.The rumors.Everything continued spinning inside his head.For several minutes, he sat silently on the edge of the bed.Staring at nothing.Thinking about everything.His phone vibrated.A message from his lawyer.Call me.Immediately.Alessandro's stomach tightened.Nothing good ever followed messages like that.He called at once.The lawyer answered before the first ring ended."We need to talk.""What happened now?""The associate."Alessandro froze."What about him?""The villa owner."His heartbeat accelerated.The lawyer continued."Investigators are asking questions."Silence.A dangerous silence.Alessandro slowly stood."What kind of questions?""The kind you don't want them asking."His grip tightened around the phone."Did he say anything?""N
CHAPTER 150
Morning sunlight poured across the island, but Alessandro felt none of its warmth.He stood in front of the bathroom mirror staring at his reflection.His face looked worse than ever. The exhaustion could no longer be hidden. The anxiety could no longer be ignored.For years, he had been the one controlling the board.Now he felt like a trapped piece being cornered from every direction.His phone vibrated. Another message. Another problem. He checked the screen. His associate.We need to talk. Immediately. Alessandro cursed under his breath. "Useless fool."He grabbed his jacket and left. Meanwhile, the investigation office was already alive with activity.Investigators moved between desks carrying files and reports. Coffee cups occupied nearly every surface. The evidence board had become enormous.Peter stood before it chewing on a pastry. One investigator pointed at him. "Breakfast again?"Peter looked offended. "Breakfast is important.""You had breakfast already." Peter shrugged.
