Chapter 12
Thiago arrived at the hillside villa just before noon. The property sat quietly atop the highest point of Jacquer Estate, overlooking the surrounding neighborhoods. From the rooftop, one could see the winding roads below, the distant commercial district, and even the cemetery behind the hill.A middle-aged man stepped out carrying a leather briefcase and several rolled-up blueprints. He extended his hand with a smile. "Mr. Moretti?"Thiago shook it. "Bill Green. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.""The pleasure is mine."After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Thiago gestured toward the villa. "Let's begin."Bill immediately switched into work mode. For nearly an hour, he carefully inspected every corner of the property, measuring wall thickness, foundation drawings, electrical conduits, plumbing layouts, measuring windows and doors, and climbing onto the roof. Then, he entered the attic and walked through the semi-underground storage level.Every few minutes, he scribbled notes int

For several seconds, Leandro remained silent. Unlike Vespera, he wasn't driven by panic. He analyzed every detail she had mentioned.When he finally spoke, his voice remained calm and measured. "First, I don't think Thiago possesses definitive proof of Evren's biological father."Vespera blinked."What?""If he truly had conclusive evidence about me, he would've exposed my name today. He didn't. He only said he could." Leandro leaned back in his chair."That tells me he's applying psychological pressure."Vespera's breathing steadied slightly. "So, he may only be bluffing?""Perhaps."Leandro refused to jump to conclusions."But that's no longer the important issue." His tone became noticeably more serious."The moment Thiago started suspecting Evren's paternity, that child became our greatest weakness."The words caused Vespera's heart to sink."There's another issue that's far more concerning." Leandro continued thinking aloud."What?""That house."Vespera frowned. "What about it?"
Chapter 10
Caius struggled violently against the neighbors restraining him. "Let me go! I'll beat that liar to death!" Thiago stood motionless at the gate of his newly purchased villa, his expression cold and unreadable. Seeing Caius reduced to shouting empty threats only made him feel an odd sense of satisfaction. In his previous life, he had endured years of humiliation from this man. Now, the tables had turned. Thiago folded his arms and spoke calmly. "You want to call me a liar?" His eyes swept across Caius, Calista, and the surrounding neighbors. "That's fine. But if you continue making trouble here, I'll reveal the biological father's name." The crowd instantly fell silent as Calista's eyes widened and Caius froze. Thiago continued without raising his voice. "I can also produce evidence of Vespera's affair." He tapped the folder in his hand. "And if that's still not enough, I have Evren's DNA report. If any of you insist on causing more trouble today, I don't mind making

Caius' shouting echoed throughout the neighborhood, which made more residents gather, with whispers spreading everywhere. Inside the newly purchased house, Thiago calmly observed everything through the property's outdated security cameras. "So, the news spread faster than expected." He thought, however, he wasn't surprised. Neighborhood gossip always traveled quickly. Instead of avoiding the confrontation, he smiled and walked toward the entrance, positioning himself in front of the opening, completely blocking the entrance with his body. Caius immediately tried forcing his way forward. "Move!" Thiago didn't budge. "This is private property. You have no permission to enter." Caius shoved harder. "There is absolutely no way you earned enough money overnight to buy this place. That money must have been accumulated before the divorce. You were still married to my daughter then. So at least half of it belongs to the Morgan family!" He slapped the metal gate for emphasis.

The moment Thiago stated his conditions, the sales agent froze. "You... you want to pay the full listing price and you don't want to negotiate?""Yes.""You also want the transaction completed today?""That's right."The agent blinked several times, wondering if he had misheard. Most buyers spent days bargaining over every detail. Some argued over furniture, others over transfer fees, and many negotiated for weeks before signing anything.Yet the young man standing before him wanted none of that. He wanted the property immediately.Recovering from his surprise, the agent's expression transformed into one of pure excitement."Mr. Moretti, please have a seat. I'll begin the paperwork immediately." He practically ran toward the office. The detached house Thiago had chosen had remained unsold for quite some time.Although it occupied the highest point in Jacquer Estate and offered magnificent views, there was one major drawback. Behind the hill stood the town cemetery. Many buyers found t

Vespera had already endured the exhausting divorce proceedings, only to return home and face another round of accusations.She rubbed her temples. "You think I haven't tried?"Both men looked at her. "What do you mean?" Caius demanded."I already filed a police report. I accused Thiago of assault.""You did?""Yes. My original plan was simple. Once the police detained him, he'd be forced to negotiate with me. If he wanted the charges dropped, he'd have no choice but to return." "That's actually smart." Nicola's eyes brightened."But unfortunately, it accomplished almost nothing." Vespera interrupted. "The police are moving unbelievably slowly. They said they'll investigate, collect statements, review evidence, and follow procedures."She mocked the officer's calm tone. "Please wait patiently, ma'am."Caius slammed his fist onto the table. "Worthless! They'll only move faster if someone pays.""Exactly. They hinted that the investigation could be... expedited." Vespera emphasized the
