Jerome opened her eyes in shock. The man sitting before her had just asked her to pay a fucking 100,000 USD to secretly investigate Lucas. Her breath caught in her throat. How could that be? 100k was a lot of money, and this wasn’t even a quote for a tangible item. It wasn’t as if they were trying to buy the White House of America itself.

She sat back in her chair, momentarily stunned.

Before coming down here, Jerome had done her homework. Painstakingly so. For someone like her, being meticulous wasn’t just a habit. It was her armor. She paid attention to detail like her life depended on it. She wasn’t the kind of woman who walked into a deal blind.

She’d researched thoroughly. She’d never worked with Donald before, but she had identified him as the right man for the job. That much was certain.

She had also taken time to watch countless YouTube videos—case studies, industry breakdowns, pricing estimates. Some of them featured former detectives turned investigators, breaking down the s

  • Chapter Sixty Confession 

    Isla saw the look on Lucas, the way his brow furrowed, the way his eyes burned with hatred, and how obvious it was that he didn’t want her anywhere near him. That expression alone was enough to pierce her, but she understood exactly what it meant.Still, when it came to her plan, there was no room for retreat. She could not back down now. The strategy she carried in her heart was too important. She must go on with it, no matter the cost. She was determined to bring her father down and dismantle the Virelli family from the inside out. Only then would her own family, the Quinns, rise above them.Even though this was an exclusive event where appearances mattered more than anything else, Isla didn’t care. She was willing to shock everyone if it meant progress toward her goal.To ensure their plan succeeded, she was prepared to humiliate herself publicly. If it meant going on her knees before Lucas, begging in front of the most powerful families present, she would do it.Her voice cracked

  • Chapter Fifty Nine. Micah Watched

    Fifty-five minutes earlier,Lucas and Adrian arrived in the same sleek luxurious limousine. At their entrance, everyone bowed aside from the first family, who were the Jonathan Markham — the president’s family — and Jonathan Markham, the president himself.The Virellis commanded great respect that even when they bowed, no family among the second richest family and the third richest family or the family who had bought tickets in murmured at all.They all wanted to be like the Virellis and they admired the Virellis’ grace and affluence to remain the richest family in the world for over ten years.Lucas walked behind his father, one of the very first times he had walked behind Adrian, his father, as the Virellis that he truly was.Standing before the president, Adrian bowed and thus, Lucas bowed before his father.On the other hand, Jonathan Markham widened his cheek into a large smile. He was so happy that he invited Adrian Virellis and he honored his invite.Jonathan Markham knew one t

  • Chapter Fifty Eight The Queen of Sarsland Arrived. 

    Sarsland, they say, was a country filled with Milk and Honey. It was not just a poetic saying; in reality, the land was blessed with rich natural resources. They specialised in coal and crude oil, and they sold these precious commodities to many countries of the world.In this vein, they were known to be rich, and this made their currency highly valued as they were major exporters of crude and coal. The wealth from these exports flowed like an endless river, influencing not only their economy but also their standing among nations.In the same manner, because of their export strength, their Queen, Queen Roseline, was regarded as one of the most powerful rulers in the world. The fact that she chose to come to Velmoria spoke volumes about the relationship between the two nations. And the fact that Velmoria received her with such honor meant even more.These moments were televised throughout all the countries of the world. To some world powers, the coming together of Velmoria and Sarsland

  • Chapter Fifty Seven Try To Reach Out 

    Isla paced to and fro in her room like a prisoner counting the days, her heels tapping lightly against the marble floor. Her hands rested against her jaws, pressing into her cheeks as she remembered everything she had done to Lucas in the past.Aside from the fact that she once allowed him to help her clean her wall glasses, every corner of her boutique back then, and aside from the fact that she had never once appreciated him, she now recalled with a sting in her chest how she had cheated on him with Micah over and over again.She could still picture how she and Micah would curse him in private, laughing together as they made jokes at his expense. She remembered other days when she had even cursed him to his face, perhaps on those occasions when he was supposed to come quickly into the boutique and clean up as he always did, but instead, he arrived late.Now, this same man she had treated like he was worth nothing… was the heir of Virellon Group? The son of Adrian Virellis? The only

  • Chapter Fifty Six The Call Home 

    Micah took back his hand, drawing it slowly to himself as if retreating from a battlefield he had already lost. He nodded, his eyes clouded with uncertainty, not knowing what to do anymore.Isla was someone he wanted by all means. She was exactly the type of woman Lorenzo would approve of: ambitious, driven, and resilient. If supported in the right way, she could move mountains. Yet now, she was letting her ex worm his way back into her thoughts?His jaw tightened, and his fingers curled into a hard fist. Even though Lucas was not making an obvious attempt to return to her life, Micah knew that as long as Lucas was still breathing, Isla would never entirely belong to him.He narrowed his brow, eyelids pressing together until his eyes were almost shut.The blank TV in front of him seemed to taunt him, its dark screen reflecting a ghostly image of his own frustration. In his mind’s eye, Lucas’ smug face was still there, smiling back at him.“I am coming for you, Lucas. Believe me, I wil

  • Chapter Fifty Five Isla saw the News 

    Isla licked the surface of his dick.It was another morning in the hands of Micah, another heated dawn that promised the same routine, another morning to ride his dick just the way he loved it. The sunlight filtering in through the curtains caught the edge of his grin, a grin that widened as she moved.She sat on him, feeling the heat of his body beneath hers, and as he spread his wide smile across his cheek, she grabbed his erected dick and slid it deep into her wet pu**y.They had been on this business since the night before, their bodies locked in an endless loop of lust. They had taken only five hours of sleep before waking up and starting again, unable to resist each other’s pull.Outside their little world, social media was buzzing with news that was shaking people everywhere, but they were oblivious, caught up in their own haze of pleasure. This morning, however, that blissful ignorance was about to end.The TV was already on, its low hum filling the room as she moved up and do
