2026-02-11 15:47:19The little crowd of people around the court premises were stunned, staring speechless before laughter turned up.
A moment ago, Mario was distracted by her striking beauty and seductive curves but now, after hearing the insult she threw at him, confusion and embarrassment both lunged at him.
His gaze drifted toward the heap of metal that had once been his prized car.
Humiliation burned hotter than the summer sun.
Camille walked toward him with calm steps. Every movement made her hips sway from left to right, her move was elegant yet carried a seductive charm.
Mario's gaze was locked onto her like a snipper who found a target. Mira immediately ceased to exist. In front of a goddess like Camille, Mira was nothing.
The way she walked and smiled was charming, it was as though she was chanting a spell that drew attention to herself.
Anyone could feel Mario's burning gaze through the shade. His car came back with nothing in front of a damsel.
When she stopped in front of him, her tone was cool enough to freeze one to death.
“If you keep staring,” she said softly, “I’ll assume you’re assessing a threat. And I deal with threats very quickly. Clear?”
She was already in a foul mood and his lecherous gaze on her was fueling her anger.
Something in her voice sent shivers down his spine making Mario's breath hitch. He nodded and looked away.
Camille turned from him and faced Mira. She lifted a finger and tilted Mira’s chin, forcing their eyes to meet.
She was already in a foul mood and his lecherous gaze on her was fueling her anger. She couldn't help wondering what it was that Mario had that could have attracted Mira.
To her, Mario's wealth was like a drop of water in the sea when compared to Roman’s.
“Look at the thing you choose over my brother.” She taunted her.
“My brother once told me you were different from the other woman he had met in the past,” Camille said.
“Kind. Loyal. The kind of person worth building a future for. The kind of woman our granddad wanted him to share our empi…….” Roman rounded his hand swiftly over her lips, cutting her short.
“Not now. Not here.”
Mira tried to retreat, but Camille didn’t let her. “Do you know how many people would give everything for his trust? For his protection?”
Camille inhaled, stepped back, and went to the Rolls Royce parked behind her. She returned with a huge crystal case and dropped it at Mira’s feet. She opened it revealing the content to everyone.
“This,” Camille said, “is what you called worthless. These are pure, south sea pearls. It took us weeks to get enough to make this set for you. You see the catalog, inside it are all the custom made hand begs and dresses from any high end brand you can think of including the Birkins.”
She breathed. “That's not all you see, the key inside there belongs to the latest edition of 2026 Rolls-Royce that would have been waiting for you. Do you know how much that car is worth?”
Camille wasn't relenting.
“It's enough to buy the company you assholes work for and you'd still have a lot left.”
She slid through her phone. “That aside, do you know how much he spent preparing a matrimonial home for you?”
A pure luxury penthouse seated on top of a hill in a reserved area.
Mira’s eyes widened with shock and suspicion.
“House, cars, bags, jewelry, it would have been a world beyond your imagination.” Camille snarled at her.
“If only you had waited just one more day, everything in here and many more would have been yours, you would have enjoyed a life of luxury like never before.”
Mira turned to Mario, eyes flickering. Even Mario was surprised, wondering if all these were true. Roman locked his gaze at them, arms crossed against his chest.
“It's quite unfortunate. Ahh how could I forget the best of them all.”
She dug around the box and pulled out a black card inscribed with golden words. Mira Donaldson written on it.
Mario gasped at the sight, while Mira looked at him. “I'm confused. Is this true?”
“You've seen something and you ask if it's true.” Mario's look said.
“Seeing the stupid look on your face, it's obvious you don't know what this is. Blobfish…..why don't you explain to your little girlfriend what this is.”
“I'm not a….” Before Mario could finish his sentence, Camille glared at him. Her gaze was so intense that it made him keep quiet instantly.
“It's a globally recognized unlimited card. With….. with this you can get money anywhere in the world. I…. I thought it was made up.”
Camille chuckled and shut the case, handed it to Roman, he shook his head refusing to take it.
“I have no use for it anymore, you can keep it. Let’s go,” he said.
“Well lucky me.” She turned to leave but stopped and faced Mira.
“Do you know that your life was hanging by a thread all this while, if I wanted I would have taken it with just one order for humiliating him.” After saying that she looked down at Mira's chest where a red dot was flickering.
Mira followed her gaze and her face went pale instantly.
She knew exactly what it was, her knees buckled and she almost fell to the ground.
It was the first time Mira's life was threatened by a mysterious, powerful woman. She really believed that Camille could take her life if she wanted.
“Camille, that's enough. Let's get out of here.” Roman finally spoke up, tired of watching these two foolish, confused people.
She nodded and walked back to the car.
Camille carried the case back, climbed into the driver’s seat, and the Rolls Royce engine roared to life. As it drove away, the reflection in its dark windows showed Mira standing speechless on the sidewalk, staring intensely at the car driving away.
Roman sat in silence as Camille drove the car through the narrow streets toward the industrial district. The faint hum of the engine filled the quiet.
He stared out the window, watching the city blur.
Camille kept glancing at him, he could feel her gaze, he tried ignoring it at first but she just wouldn't stop.
“What is? If you have something to say, say it and stop staring at me.”
“Why didn't you let me end her pathetic life? How can you stand to see her living and breathing after what she did to you?”
“Letting her keep her life is a bonus to me. I've got a lot to do for her and her bastard man.”
“Trust me!”

At least she still knew people and they would definitely help her out if she wanted. In the next 15 years, everyone would have moved on from her and she would fade into the background of life. Roman didn't really have any need for her wealth. As she said, he and his wife had everything. What she owned wouldn't even dent their bank accounts. He just wanted her to feel defeated to the brim. He would one way or the other return the wealth to her through her parents. The thought of Lena, once again winning her, was what counted. She began to crack as Roman wanted. She listed the names, from corrupt officials, compromised business partners, politicians, she had frolicked with and bribed to aid her uncle's takeover. This was good for Roman. With all these names, Roman, who had initially had the president and governors as friends, would expand his influence into the very seats of the senate. He would not take legal actions against them, but he was going to blackmail them so hard, they w
Chapter 79
By now, it was clear that Damian would be caught sooner and later. After long talks, Carlos finally convinced Roman to take a break, go live other parts of his life, while the security unit focused on Damian. Although Roman finally accepted this, he was still very much looking over his shoulder. Damian was full of surprises and now that he lost everything, he might resort to taking extreme measures against Roman. For the first time in a long time, Roman could finally go after “other activities.” Of course, the first on the list was Mira, who had been locked in the cell ever since she invaded his home and assaulted Lena. “You have a visitor, Mira.” The warder told her. She thought it would be her parents, as usual, but it wasn't. She could see Roman on the other side of the desk as she walked in. Her heart began to race. The feeling, intense. “He clearly has reached his verdict to punish me.” She panicked within. Roman had told her that he wasn't done with her at all. Staying in

The shipment began moving. It would take a hidden territory, which couldn't be detected by normal agents. Damian had the impression that they were indeed trying to hide this from him and sent his whole army to attack. 300 million dollars is no small feat to steal. It would need a lot of men and definitely take a lot of time. He had no other option but to send his best guards and the most he had ever deployed to one place. If he succeeded at this, he would achieve not just hurting Roman at his best, but disgracing him before the world. After bragging so much about how safe the shipment would be, it would be the biggest slap if it went south. As it went in, Damian’s men soon intercepted. They had mapped out the whole place, all secret spots to attack from. Roman on the other hand had mapped out those same spots and even more. They put bombs that would go off on heat signatures and sensors to make sure when the bombs began going off, the whole place would shut itself down, leaving
Chapter 77
Everything they were looking for was there and that was exactly what Lena had hoped to achieve. With the many sparring data that she got, she was able to make something out of it, something that added with information they got from Briggs and others, they could finally take down Damian, once and for all. Her data was more valuable than any of them would imagine. Things began unfolding before Damian, the strings he held tight had begun to loosen and he barely understood what was happening to him. This led him to inviting his two most trusted lieutenants. They were his real eyes and ears in the world above. He trusted them with everything and they basically had all the information on him. With power like that, when he started having serious setbacks, they would easily be the first to come into his mind. “Which one of you is betraying me subtly?” He asked the men, who were seated before him. They looked at themselves, confused. They didn't know they were coming to be interrogated.
Chapter 76
These contacts, sent to her anonymously from Roman's security unit. She had asked that the information wasn't let out to Roman. She didn't want him to stop her. Carlos, who was at the receiving end of this transmission, unknown to her, decided not to tell Roman. He thought it could help if done right and positioned security units that would give intel on her progress, which was also unknown to her. He wanted to make sure she was safe. Lena contacted the parties on the list as soon as possible to fix meetings with her. Although some seemed skeptical about it at first, they soon obliged. “This is a real opportunity, the closest you'll ever get to making your family free from the grip of the underground.” She would tell them, causing them to eventually reconsider. “You don't have to be stuck in this mess with your husbands.” She told the women when they finally met in a secure location of her choice. “They got themselves tangled up in this mess for one reason or another and now, yo
Chapter 75
“No, it can't be him. It can not!” Roman told himself. The evidence was there, it all pointed at Carlos. Roman couldn't get himself to think of it being true. He trusted Carlos with so many official.and personal things, turning on him would mean a lot of loss. It wasn't until a few hours later that Roman began to properly investigate the information process that led to the interception. Fortunately, it wasn't Carlos on the tabs when it happened, but the veteran security, Briggs. The man he just promoted! Roman was so angry that he put so much faith in him , hence the promotion, but he turned to stab in the back. He was however relieved that it was Carlos. If it was, it would mean an end to the word trust in his vocabulary. Ring! Roman's thought was interrupted by a call from Carlos. “Hello.” Roman answered with so much excitement. Only he knew what caused it. “Did you send Briggs on a secret mission outside the country?” Carlos asked him. “No, why?” “We met him trying to leav
