Chapter 106Jessica was surrounded by a few guards. One of them had the barrel of a gun in his hand pressed against Jessica's head—the terror of that cold metal touch was clear on Jessica's face. Marco stood still a few steps away. His gaze first landed on Jessica's face. A sense of wonder and a kind of burning fear spread through his chest. Jessica's tear-stained eyes, and the gun next to his head—this scene was tearing away all control within him. He knew that these people take lives with words. And if the one who was made to stand in front of him was punished on the pretext of "pulling the heir to a mafia family," then no one would question him.The person in front of Marco was not just an old man—he was the embodiment of power. Oscar Giordano. Although his face showed signs of age, the sharpness of his eyes was intact. There was an authority in his expression that made questions irrelevant. He approached slowly, as if time itself moved according to its will. A few high-ranking

Chapter 105Night had completely fallen when Marco’s car arrived at the designated place and stopped. The location was deserted, uncomfortably quiet, as if it had been chosen on purpose.The last words of Jessica's voice were still ringing in Marco's chest—"Come... save me."He got out of the car and looked around.Jessica was standing in the distance.Next to her was Oscar, whom he had known as grandpa since childhood.Marco's feet stopped at the sight.His eyes were filled with clear disbelief.Marco slowly moved forward.His gaze was only on Jessica.Jessica's eyes were red with tears.But her face was firm. He seemed to have turned himself into stone.Marco stood still in front of them.“Jess, what happened?” There was concern and restlessness in his voice.Jessica looked at him with cold eyes.A storm was raging inside him, but on the outside he was quiet. “You’re here just in time,” she said quietly. Marco’s chest felt uneasy. He glanced at Grandpa once. Grandpa stood there si

Chapter 104A heavy silence hung over the room.The air seemed to stand still, and Jessica sat in the middle of that stillness.In front of her were some papers spread out on the table.They were the documents that Oscar, that is, Grandpa, had brought in his own hands and placed in front of her.Jessica's fingers were shaking.She was slowly turning the pages of the paper, looking at each line as if the words were hitting her.Her eyes suddenly stopped at one place.There was her own signature.The signature she had given for Rollins.The paper she had thought was part of the business process when she signed it.But now the paper clearly stated—The Messina family shares have been transferred to Marco's name.Something inside her chest cracked. She read the line again. Once more. But the words did not change—her own signature, his own handwriting—and with that signature, it was as if he had handed over his family. Her eyes filled with tears. Oscar was sitting back in his chair, a strange

Chapter 103Suddenly he felt someone's warm body next to him. A push in his chest. His breath caught as he turned around. Isabel was lying next to him, completely exposed, half-covered by the folds of the sheet. Her hair was spread out on the pillow, a strange smile of satisfaction on her lips. The scene was so unexpected that for a few moments Marco couldn't move.Then he looked at himself. He was also naked. Blood rushed to his head. He suddenly got up from the bed, hurriedly picked up the shirt that had fallen on the floor. His hands were stiff, his jaw clenched. She couldn't find the memory, but she felt something was wrong.Just then, there was a movement in the bed. Isabel slowly opened her eyes. After a few seconds, her gaze settled on Marco. A soft smile appeared on her lips."You're awake?" she said quietly.Marco's eyes were hard. "What happened here?" she asked in a serious voice.Isabel pulled the sheet over her body, sat up. "You really can't remember anything?""What sh

Chapter 102Marco was finishing his shift, leaving the bright corridors and the smell of disinfectant behind, his grandfather's words were still playing in his head. His body was tired, but his mind was even heavier than his fatigue. He wanted to go home and sit in silence for a few minutes, to sort out the storm inside him.Just then, the phone rang. Marco's eyelids tightened as he saw the name on the screen—Isabel.That name wasn't just a person's identity; it was an old mistake, a kind of poisonous memory, and some questions that were never properly resolved. Marco usually avoided her. But in the silence of the night, the call felt unusually strong, as if some unrest was coming out of the phone and trying to choke him.He picked up the call.Isabel's voice came from the other end—broken, sharp, and unusually excited. Her words seemed to be running with her breath, unable to stop.Isabel almost shouted,“Marco! You come now! Now!”Marco was alert for a moment. Her voice was cold, b

Chapter 101Jessica was standing in front of the window.Although her gaze was on the city outside, she was actually sorting out her inner doubts.The events of the last few chapters had not allowed her to remain calm.The abnormality in Marco's behavior did not escape her eyes.For a few moments, Marco had become silent, as if there was a world inside him that Jessica did not have access to.And the name of that invisible world was—'Owl'.Lina was standing by the door.Even though she had a file in her hand, she understood that today's conversation was not just official.Jessica's face had a personal concern today.Jessica turned around slowly.The determination was clear in her eyes. She said in a calm but firm voice,“Lina, I want you to find out the relationship between Marco and ‘Owl.’”Lina paused for a moment.She could tell the subject was sensitive.She said cautiously,“Ma’am, are you sure there’s a relationship between them?”Jessica’s eyes lit up with a slightly hard glin
