Chapter 90
Bruno lunged forward, throwing his heavy body toward Mara to grab her.Mara reacted with blinding speed. She was terrified, but she was not weak. She ducked under his sweeping arm, spinning quickly away from the leather chair. She grabbed a heavy silver serving tray from the side table. Gripping the edges with both hands, she swung it violently, smashing the solid metal directly into Bruno’s shoulder.Bruno grunted in surprise, stumbling backward from the hard impact. The tray clattered loudly to the floor."You want to play rough?" Bruno laughed sinisterly, rubbing his bruised shoulder. The pain only seemed to excite his twisted mind even more. "I love it when they fight back. A cat always toys with a mouse before eating it. It makes the victory taste so much better."The thugs standing near the door laughed along with their boss, highly entertained by the desperate struggle. They shifted their weight, blocking any possible path of escape for Mara.Lana sat back in her comfortable le

"Get in here," Lana snapped impatiently, crossing her arms tightly over her chest. She made absolutely no effort to hide her complete and utter disgust for the filthy men standing out in the hallway.Bruno swaggered into the private dining room. He was a ruthless, dirty man who made his living in the underground by double-crossing his rivals and taking whatever he wanted by brute force. A lit cigarette hung loosely from the corner of his mouth. Four heavily muscled thugs followed closely behind him, blocking the exit entirely, their faces twisted into mean, eager smiles.Bruno stopped near the head of the mahogany table. He looked directly at Lana. A dark, intense, and greedy look washed over his rough face. He coveted Lana. He wanted her massive wealth and her high-society status. But he was a survivor above all else. He knew the absolute boundaries of the city’s power structures. Touching a recognized daughter of the powerful Prescott family would bring an army of highly trained pri

Lana let out a high, hysterical laugh from the other side of the room. She clapped her hands together slowly, loudly mocking Mara’s rising panic."Are you really this delusional?" Lana asked, wiping a fake tear of amusement from her eye. "Look around the room, Mara. Do you honestly think Greg is on your side?"Mara quickly turned her head. She looked at Sarah, who was sitting near the wall. She looked at David. She looked at Mark. These were her trusted employees. These were the people she had worried about late at night, the people she had sworn to protect and pay, the team she had fought so hard to keep employed.Sarah looked away instantly, staring awkwardly at the floor and refusing to make eye contact. David crossed his arms over his chest and sneered at her. Mark simply stepped sideways, physically blocking the path to the door.

"I do not beg," Mara stated firmly, her voice steady and unapologetic as she stared across the mahogany table. "I compete fairly. I earn my business contracts through hard work, late nights, and a far superior corporate model. You brought me to this hotel to play a childish, petty game, Lana, and I am absolutely not participating."Lana threw her head back and laughed loudly. The sharp, mocking sound echoed off the high walls of the private dining room. She slapped her hand against the table, acting as if Mara had just told the funniest joke in the world."Hard work? A superior corporate model?" Lana repeated, her smile turning incredibly vicious. "Is that what you call it when you close the door with Executive 1?"Mara tightened her jaw. "I have no idea what you are talking about.""Oh, please stop acting so innocent," Lana snapped, dropping the fake amusement. Her eyes burned with deep, toxic jealousy. "Everyone in our circle knows exactly how a bankrupt nobody suddenly gets an excl
Chapter 86
Lana placed her phone flat on her expensive glass desk and crossed her legs. She stared at the blank screen, waiting for a text message that would never arrive.She had no idea that Vaughn and his father were currently flying in a dark helicopter toward a brutal, lifelong sentence at a remote jade mine. She simply assumed Vaughn was being his usual lazy, arrogant self. She thought he was just ignoring her calls because he wanted to keep all the glory of ruining Dane for himself.Lana scoffed and rolled her eyes. She did not care what Vaughn did in the slums. She had her own plans, and they were much more humiliating. She wanted to break Mara completely. She wanted to rip away every single piece of dignity Mara had left, and she wanted to do it in front of an audience.She picked up her phone again and dialed a hidden number. The line rang twice before a man answered."Is she in her office?" Lana asked, keeping her voice low and demanding."Yes," the man replied quietly. It was Greg, t
Chapter 85
Dane tightened his grip on Paul’s shoulder and hoisted the young man up from the carpet. He did not let go immediately. Instead, Dane looked him squarely in the eye, validating the immense weight of the moment."Stand up straight, Paul," Dane commanded, his voice carrying the firm, undeniable authority of a king addressing his general. "Do not ever bow your head in this room again. From this exact second forward, this family, this compound, and everything attached to it belongs entirely to you. You are the new boss of this syndicate."Paul blinked, his breath catching painfully in his throat. He had plotted for his own survival, hoping for perhaps a small piece of vengeance, but he had never imagined inheriting the entire empire. He quickly shook his head, overwhelmed by the sheer, terrifying scale of the gift."I am unworthy of such a massive kingdom, Master Dane," Paul stated, his voice completely serious and unwavering. "You are the one who defeated them. You broke their power and
