The study was softly illuminated, permeated with the exquisite scent of matured wine, while Sterling and his nephew, Max, were seated facing each other, gently tapping their glasses together.

Max leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. "Your plan to hire Dead man was brilliant, Uncle. How did you even come up with the plan to use the orphanage caretaker to get to Dead man."

    The tension in the air was palpable as Gabriel left the warehouse, his mind racing with the implications of the meeting. He just managed to escape without raising any more doubts. As he made his way back to his car and then drove to the van Jill was in, he couldn't rid himself of the unsettling sense that something had gone very wrong. While Jill waited in the van, she anxiously tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. After Gabriel eventually got in, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God you’re okay," she said, her voice trembling slightly. Gabriel nodded, still shaken. "They almost caught someone spying on us. I'm not sure who it was, but it could complicate things." Jill frowned, concern etched across her face. "We need to be more careful. Did you get any useful information?" Gabriel recounted the conversation, his words tumbling out in a rush.

Jill, standing a few feet away, nodded, her eyes intense with determination. "It has to. Just keep your cool and don't let them suspect anything. I'll be listening in the whole time." Jill had devised a plan to help Gabriel gather enough evidence to help them, convince Samuel and the rest of the family that Gabriel was coerced into being a spy. The plan involved Gabriel meeting up with the Japanese gang and placing a tracker on Gabriel as well as a mini spy camera. They would be able to gather enough evidence to show the family. Gabriel inhaled deeply, attempting to calm his nerves. "Okay. I am taking a huge risk here.” Jill said as she placed her palm on Gabriel's face. “ you are going to be fine, I promise.” She said as she placed a kiss on his lips. As their lips parted Gabriel responded, “ Thanks babe, not just for this, b

Samuel stayed late, whispering sweet words and keeping her close until early morning. His touch left a lasting imprint, filling her heart with warmth. Right on time, she received a message from him on her buzzing phone. “Morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?” Jennifer smiled, as she looked around the bedroom wondering where Samuel was typing from as he was not in the room with her at the moment.

    Jill walked back and forth in her room, with long shadows on the walls from the dim light of the chandelier. The memory of Gabriel's conversation with Yuta kept replaying in her mind as she tightened her fists. She needed to face him and attempt to uncover the truth. A soft knock on her door broke her thoughts. "Jill? Are you in there?" Gabriel’s voice was hesitant. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door. "We need to talk. Now." Gabriel stepped inside, his face a mixture of concern and confusion. "What’s wrong?" Jill closed the door behind him, her eyes blazing. "I overheard your conversation with Yuta. I know you're working for the Yakuza." Gabriel's eyes widened. "Jill, I—" "Don't lie to me, Gabriel!" Jill's voice was sharp, cutting through the air like a knife. "I know you're a spy for the Yakuza leader. I know everything." Gabriel took a step back, his face paling. "Jill, please, let me explain—" "You'd better tell me the whole truth," Jill interrupted, her tone fierce.

    The luxurious grand ballroom at the Riverton Hotel was filled with a mix of wealth and political aspirations. Shimmering crystal chandeliers illuminate the guests mingling at Vittorio's campaign for mayor, each one a possible friend or foe. Jennifer nervously straightened her dress, looking around the room. Samuel stood next to her, providing a comforting anchor amidst the crowd of strangers. The two had just finished their passionate lovemaking and now they join the unknowing guests at the event. "Chill out, Jennifer," Samuel quietly said, feeling her stress. "We're here to build friendships, not create adversaries." Jennifer forced a smile. “Easier said than done. Everyone looks like they’re plotting something.” Samuel chuckled. “Well babe, welcome to politics.” They moved through the crowd, exchanging polite nods and handshakes.
