Chapter 712
The next morning, Antonio woke before dawn.He had barely slept.The events of the previous night had left him convinced that the people behind the conspiracy were preparing something far more dangerous than anything they had attempted before.He walked into the living room and found Cynthia already awake.She was sitting quietly, staring through the window."You didn't sleep," Antonio said.She turned toward him."Neither did you."Antonio smiled faintly."No."Cynthia stood and walked toward him."Antonio, what exactly are we dealing with?""I don't know yet.""That's what worries me."He took her hands."I'll protect you.""I know.""But I need you to trust me."Cynthia looked into his eyes."I do."Antonio nodded.His phone suddenly vibrated.Both of them looked at it.A message had arrived.Your choice has arrived.Antonio opened it.There was an attachment.He tapped it.A video began playing.Antonio's expression immediately changed.It showed Joey.She was sitting inside a dar

The following morning, Antonio woke with an unusual sense of uneasiness.He had barely slept.The words Malcolm had spoken before disappearing continued to echo in his mind."Now we make him choose."Antonio knew what that meant.His enemies were no longer interested in attacking only his reputation or career.They wanted something more personal.They wanted to force him into a position where every decision would cost him something.He quietly got out of bed, careful not to wake Cynthia.But before he reached the door, his phone vibrated.He looked at the screen.A message had arrived from an unknown number.Good morning, Antonio.He stared at it.Another message appeared.You have exactly twenty-four hours.Antonio's eyes narrowed.Then came a photograph.His daughter.She was standing outside her school with another child.Antonio immediately recognized the location.His heart tightened.Another message appeared.You see why you should have stopped searching.Antonio's expression ch

Antonio remained motionless after giving the order.For several seconds, nobody in the room spoke.Joey stared at him."Antonio, are you sure?"Antonio's eyes remained fixed on the table."No."The honesty of his answer surprised everyone."I'm not sure at all."The President frowned."Then why did you order his arrest?""Because the evidence points toward him.""But you've known Samuel for years.""I know.""He's treated your family.""I know.""He's saved your life."Antonio slowly looked at the President."And that's exactly why I don't want to believe it."The room became silent again.Antonio had trusted Samuel more than almost anyone.Samuel had been present during his most difficult moments. He had treated members of his family. He had shared meals with them. He had attended family celebrations.If Samuel really was connected to the mysterious network, then Antonio had unknowingly allowed one of his greatest enemies to remain close to him."Bring him in quietly," Antonio said.
Chapter 709
The following morning, Antonio woke earlier than usual.Something about the previous night's conversation continued to trouble him.The words of the mysterious man kept echoing in his mind.It will begin with someone you trust completely.Antonio had spent years learning never to underestimate his enemies. But the statement had created a different kind of concern.Who could they possibly mean?Cynthia?No.Joey?Impossible.The President?Antonio shook his head.He had trusted all of them in different ways.But there was one person whose loyalty had never been questioned.His longtime friend and personal physician, Dr. Samuel Grant.Samuel had been with Antonio through some of the most difficult periods of his life. He had treated him, advised him, and even protected members of his family when Antonio had been away.There was no reason to suspect him.And yet, Antonio had learned that sometimes the people closest to a person were the easiest targets for manipulation.His phone rang.I

Antonio stared at the photograph for several seconds.The image had shaken him more than he wanted to admit.It wasn't simply the fact that Cynthia was standing beside the President.It was the location.The presidential residence.The photograph had clearly been taken from somewhere inside the compound.That meant whoever was behind the conspiracy had access to places that should have been heavily secured.Joey noticed the change in Antonio's expression."What is it?"Antonio pointed at the photograph."Look carefully."Joey leaned closer."What am I looking for?""The reflection."She studied the image.Then her eyes widened.There was a faint reflection in a glass door behind them.Someone had taken the photograph from inside the building."Oh my God."Antonio nodded."This wasn't taken from outside."Joey's face became pale."Then whoever took it was inside the presidential residence.""Exactly.""And they were close enough to photograph my father and Cynthia without being noticed
Chapter 707
The words on Antonio's phone remained in his mind long after he left the warehouse.Victor was never the real enemy.For several minutes, he stood beside his vehicle without speaking.The investigators were busy securing the evidence recovered from the warehouse, but Antonio's attention was elsewhere.If Victor had truly been only one part of a larger network, then the people behind him had been watching everything.His career.His family.His work in Davia.The false allegations.The attacks.The attempts to destroy his reputation.Everything suddenly appeared connected.Antonio's phone rang.It was Cynthia.He answered immediately."Hello.""Antonio, where are you?""I'm on my way home.""Are you all right?""I'm fine."There was a pause."You sound different."Antonio looked toward the warehouse."We caught someone.""Who?""Victor Hale."Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief."Then it's finally over."Antonio remained silent.Cynthia immediately noticed."Antonio?""It's not over.""W
