Hey, reader. As I write this, I might pretend something just fell in my eye—but you and I both know what it really is. 🥹 It’s been a wild ride, and you’ve been an absolute MVP for sticking with this story to the very end. I could call you a thousand nice names, but none of them would come close to how grateful I am that you were here, living this chaos with Cole, Amanda, Maria, and everyone else. Big thanks to my senior editor too, for the spark that made this story come alive. Now… if you want to see more of Cole and dive deeper into the phases of the ring, drop a comment on the book. I read every single one, and if the buzz is real enough, There will absolutely be a new book about Cole and the gang. By the way, you will see a little more of Bella in my ongoing story, “Piss Off, This Is My Money”. Or, if you want something else entirely, you can let me know too. Anyway… thank you. Seriously. You are the best. —From the author
Chapter 261
“Can we have the feast arranged part… some of our men have gone to get the mentors?” Dre’s voice held so much gratitude it made Cole’s chest tighten. “You know what? Let’s make it tomorrow. Tonight? I have to be… with my wife.” Dre’s face flushed. “Okay, sir,” he said quickly, trying not to look too obvious. “I haven’t seen Bella in a few days. We need to find her,” Cole said, the urgency creeping into his words. “Oh, yeah… right,” Dre said. “On the same note, sir, if anyone was missing last night, the person was probably hidden in the vault. We’re going to search for your sister, but we could also unlock the vault in case anyone had been trapped there.” “How many hours’ drive from here?” Cole asked, eyes scanning the city lights. “Two, sir,” Dre replied, steady but with barely contained excitement. Two hours. That was just enough. He’d be back before the mentors even realized. As Cole walked over to the cars, he barked instructions to Dre. “Search every corner of the city for

Cole was more than fascinated with the lawyer on his team—the guy was surgical, moving through everything so flawlessly that it made Cole’s head spin. In the past two days, the ten of them had worked like machines, each second inching closer to their goal: getting the masters out of prison.Wright had initially resisted cooperating, but there are limits to the torture a man can endure. Eventually, he spilled everything he knew—the plans Rica had orchestrated down to the tiniest detail. And thank God they acted fast: when Rica manipulated the necklace that Dre had been wearing, it was the fake one. Dre had no clue, and Cole—he hadn’t the slightest idea of the web being spun behind the scenes when he was first contacted that day.It wasn’t until Marcus called and filled him in that the puzzle pieces clicked. Acting natural in front of his mother, Maria, and even Amanda had been a cakewalk compared to the storm of revelations that had just hit him.Everything that had happened all from

“Hm… how does it feel to realize you were played at your own fucking game, huh?”Then—silence.It was obviously a recorded message.“This probably isn’t what you were expecting. You must’ve thought you could take the ring easily and run off with it.” A faint scoff followed. “Sorry. That only happens in your dreams, Maria.”A pause. Short. Measured.“The only reason I didn’t get rid of you is because you’ve been good to my mother. I thought long and hard about what to do with you, and we decided this was better than killing you outright.”Another pause. Colder this time.“I also thought you’d be honest with me—tell me about the code only you know. The one that could shut everything down. Maybe even kill the wearer. Maybe Amanda had been right all the while. I'm too cool for a world filled with people like you.” A quiet exhale. “And for once, I agree with her.”Silence again.“When you hear this, you’ll probably already be out of the country with Rica. That was always your plan.” His vo

“Alright, I’m here. You can mail me anything else you have to tell me,” Amanda said smoothly, then ended the call.Everyone stared at Tyler awkwardly.“Is he that jealous of her success?” someone whispered.“Maybe this is all he’s been doing to earn Grandma’s affection all along,” another muttered.“This is not acceptable in the family,” the matriarch barked, utterly infuriated.“Do you think this is a joke? Do you know what you just did on that call?” she shouted at him, voice cracking.“I was—”“No more words,” the matriarch cut him off, calm but deadly. “I’ve been too lenient with you. Right now, I’ll have the staff pack your things. You will leave this house immediately. I’ll freeze all your cars, all your positions will be revoked. If you can become even half of who Amanda was when I stripped everything away from her, then I might consider letting you back into the family.”“No, Grandma… you can’t do this!”And that was how Tyler watched himself get thrown out of the family house

“You really think you’re worth something because of your trash husband’s little victory?” Tyler spat.“Call him trash again and you’ll be losing two teeth,” Amanda warned, her tone sharp enough to make Cole grin—he couldn’t help himself.Nope, this wasn’t what he wanted to dwell on. Tyler turned to the matriarch, keeping his “gentleman” act alive.“I won the collaboration. My influence made this happen. But if we’re all going to pretend it was wherever portfolio Amanda packed together that made it possible… fine,” he said smoothly, still keeping his edge.“I don’t understand,” someone murmured.“Did you even help with the collection?” another voice asked.“I did what I had to. But I’m not going to brag about it. I can be sure it was me who made this happen. It’s fine if everyone wants to pretend it’s all Amanda’s work,” Tyler said, voice calm but deadly.All eyes shifted to Amanda.“We’re cousins. Things like this happen. I can give her the credit if you want,” Tyler added smoothly, l
