CHAPTER 532
The fall of Jackson Milton barely occupied Steven Kahuna's thoughts anymore. As far as Steven was concerned, Jackson had received exactly what he deserved. Forty years behind bars was not something Steven intended to celebrate, nor was it something he regretted. Jackson had made his choices. He had hurt people. He had built his little empire through illegal means and believed his connections would keep him untouchable forever. They hadn't. Steven had simply made sure the truth caught up with him. And now, Jackson was someone else's problem. Steven had far more important things occupying his mind. His wife. Jennifer Payne Kahuna. And their unborn child. That was all that mattered. At the moment, Steven Kahuna was standing in the middle of their bedroom with a glass of water in one hand and a small plate of sliced fruit in the other. "Jennifer." No response. His eyes immediately narrowed with concern. "Jennifer?" "I'm here." Her voice came from th
CHAPTER 531
Luis never made it to the delivery corridor. He had barely stepped away from Andrew's room when a voice stopped him. "Luis." His entire body stiffened. He turned slowly. Two men stood at the end of the corridor. Neither wore a uniform. Neither looked like ordinary security. One of them held a folder beneath his arm while the other stared at Luis with an expression that immediately made his stomach tighten. "Yes, sir?" The older man walked toward him. "You were inside too long." Luis forced himself to remain calm. "I was cleaning." "Cleaning?" "Yes." The man glanced at the tray in Luis's hands. "You've been cleaning a lot lately." Luis swallowed. "I was told to keep the room clean." "Who told you?" Luis opened his mouth. Nothing came out. The older man's eyes narrowed. That hesitation was enough. "Come with us." Luis's fingers tightened around the tray. "Sir, I still have—" "Leave it." The other man took the tray from him. Luis watched helplessly as it wa
CHAPTER 530
Andrew didn't move. The moment Luis mentioned a message, every instinct in him told him not to react too quickly. Hope was dangerous in a place like this. A careless expression, a raised voice, even a sudden movement could destroy whatever small opportunity had appeared. He kept his eyes on the young guard. "What kind of message?" Luis glanced toward the steel door. "One that doesn't have to leave this building." Andrew frowned. "Then how does it reach Juliana?" Luis swallowed. "I know someone who works at the hotel where you were staying." Andrew's expression changed. "The hotel?" "He's a delivery driver. Sometimes he brings supplies here." Luis lowered his voice. "If I can convince him to carry something for me, he could leave it somewhere your people might find it." Andrew studied him carefully. "My people?" "Your girlfriend. Your family. Anyone." Andrew almost smiled. "Juliana." Luis nodded. "I don't know her personally." "You don't need
CHAPTER 529
The following morning arrived with renewed determination inside the Andreas estate. For the first time in several days, Juliana woke before sunrise. It surprised even her. She stood by her bedroom window, watching the golden rays gradually spill over the gardens below. The ache in her heart remained, but it no longer paralyzed her. She had cried enough. Now... she wanted answers. After dressing, she picked up Andrew's phone from her bedside table, slipped it into her handbag, and headed downstairs. The dining room was unusually lively. Raphael was already seated with a newspaper folded beside his untouched breakfast, while Emiliano lazily stirred his coffee, looking as though he'd barely slept. The moment Juliana entered, both brothers instinctively looked up. Raphael noticed it first. "You actually slept." She nodded with a faint smile. "A little." Emiliano leaned back in his chair. "That's progress." Juliana sat beside them. "I'm still going to find
CHAPTER 528
The heavy courtroom doors shut behind Jackson Milton with a thunderous boom that echoed through the corridors of the courthouse. It was over. Forty years. The sentence lingered in the minds of everyone present like an inescapable storm. For several long seconds, no one moved. Then the courtroom erupted. Journalists sprang to their feet, racing toward the exits before anyone else. "Get outside!" "They're bringing him out now!" "This is front-page news!" Photographers gathered their equipment in frantic haste while television reporters rehearsed their opening lines. "This is the moment Riverage City has been waiting for..." Within moments, the courthouse emptied as everyone rushed outside. Beyond the security barricades, thousands of spectators had gathered long before sunrise. Some had once trusted Jackson with their investments. Others had lost businesses because of his schemes. Some had merely come to witness the downfall of a man many believed had esc
CHAPTER 527
Unfortunately, in Riverage City, the Miltons were about to face another hassle. Jackson Milton never imagined that the loud knock on his penthouse door would be the sound that marked the end of his freedom. It wasn't a warning. It wasn't an invitation to negotiate. It was judgment. The heavy doors burst open as dozens of officers flooded the residence, dressed in tactical gear, their voices sharp and commanding. "Jackson Milton! Federal Financial Crimes Division! Get on your knees!" The color drained from Jackson's face. For the first time in years, the man who had threatened businessmen, bribed officials, and orchestrated countless illegal dealings stood frozen. He looked toward the hallway. There was nowhere to run. Every exit had already been secured. His security personnel had been disarmed before they could even reach their weapons. Outside, dozens of police vehicles lined the estate while helicopters hovered overhead. The media had already arrived.
