CHAPTER 161 PART 2
Meanwhile, across the city at the Romano estate, Leo had already assembled his most trusted enforcers for an immediate assault on Marco Torretti's apartment. The fury consuming him left no room for careful planning or strategic consideration."Thompson," Leo commanded with murderous intensity, "get Antonio, Giuseppe, Sal, and Vincent. We're paying Marco a visit.""Sir, what's the situation?" Thompson asked with professional concern."The situation," Leo replied with vicious satisfaction, "is that we've found the rat in our organization."Twenty minutes later, Leo's convoy screeched to a halt outside Marco Torretti's modest apartment building. The aging brick structure seemed to mock Leo's wealth and power as he led his armed men through the lobby toward Marco's third-floor unit."MARCO!" Leo roared as he pounded on the apartment door with enough force to rattle the frame. "OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!"Marco appeared in the doorway wearing a bathrobe and looking confused by this unexpected vis
CHAPTER 161 PART 1
The luxury sedan glided through Carson City's afternoon traffic as Sebastian Sterling sat beside Mariya in the vehicle's plush interior, his expression carefully neutral despite the dangerous situation he'd been forced into.Three of his most trusted men occupied the front seats and trailing vehicle, maintaining professional security protocols while remaining oblivious to their employer's true predicament.Perfect timing for the next phase, Sebastian thought as he checked his secure phone.Leo's desperation for leads about his mysterious enemy will make him act without thinking."Sebastian," Mariya said with obvious excitement, "I'm so grateful you agreed to handle my security personally. It means everything to me.""Just doing my job, Mrs. Romano," Sebastian replied with professional distance, not meeting her gaze."You can call me Mariya when we're alone," she suggested with obvious invitation. "We don't need to be so formal."She's already testing boundaries, Sebastian observed wit

The Romano estate's opulent driveway crunched under Sebastian Sterling's tires as he arrived for what he hoped would be a routine check-in with Leo.The evening's frame job on Marco Torretti had been executed flawlessly, but Sebastian needed to gauge Leo's current mental state and assess whether his cover remained intact.I need to understand how much Leo knows about Marco's investigation, Sebastian thought as he approached the mansion's entrance.And whether Marco's accusations have planted any seeds of doubt.Thompson greeted him at the front door with his usual professional courtesy, though Sebastian detected subtle tension in the security chief's demeanor."Mr. Sterling," Thompson said with apparent relief, "Mr. Romano stepped out for a meeting with city officials. He should return within the hour.""I'll wait," Sebastian replied with apparent loyalty."These are dangerous times for the organization."Sebastian made his way to the estate's main living room, where he settled into o

The opulent study of Sebastian Sterling's estate had become a battlefield as three professional thieves lay groaning on the Persian carpet, their confidence shattered along with several bones.Sebastian stood over them with the casual bearing of someone who had just completed a minor workout rather than a violent confrontation."Gentlemen," Sebastian said with predatory calm, his expensive suit barely wrinkled despite the beating he'd just delivered, "you have two choices tonight."Sal Benedetti struggled to his hands and knees, blood streaming from his broken nose as he stared up at Sebastian with obvious terror."What... what kind of choices?" Sal gasped with obvious pain."Choice one," Sebastian explained with cold authority, "you tell me who sent you, why you're here, and what you're looking for. In exchange, I pay you for your troubles and let you walk away.""And choice two?" Giuseppe Romano asked with obvious dread."Choice two," Sebastian continued with lethal certainty, "I ki

The Romano estate's private study felt charged with tension as Marco Torretti stood before Leo's imposing desk, surveillance photographs clutched in his sweating hands.His opportunity for revenge against Sebastian Sterling had finally arrived, and he could barely contain his excitement."Boss," Marco began with barely controlled enthusiasm, "I've got information about Sebastian Sterling that you need to hear."Leo looked up from his evening whiskey with obvious irritation. "What kind of information, Marco? I'm not in the mood for gossip tonight.""This isn't gossip," Marco insisted with growing confidence. "This is proof that your precious right-hand man has been lying to you.""Lying about what?" Leo asked with dangerous calm, his voice carrying the undertone that made smart men choose their words carefully."About where he was when the casino got hit," Marco declared with triumphant satisfaction. "Sterling told you he was at a whorehouse, right?""That's what he said," Leo confirme
Chapter 157
The Meridian Hotel's grand ballroom sparkled with crystal chandeliers and the quiet murmur of Carson City's elite engaging in charitable theater. Karvel stood beside Sophia with practiced ease, though his attention remained focused on Leo and Mariya Romano's approach across the polished marble floor.Another opportunity to observe Leo's psychological state, Karvel thought with strategic interest. Let's see how he handles social confrontation when he can't use violence."Karvel Cross," Leo said with forced civility as he reached their position, though his voice carried undertones of barely controlled hostility. "Fancy meeting you at such an... exclusive... event.""Leo," Karvel replied with polite acknowledgment, "Mariya. You both look lovely this evening."Mariya's expression showed obvious disdain as she studied Karvel's expensive tuxedo and his proximity to yet another wealthy woman."My, my," Mariya said with cutting sarcasm, "another rich benefactor, Karvel? You certainly do have
