Chapter 6 - The Setup
Dante stared at the first photograph, and the blood violently drained from his face.
It was a picture of Valentina, his beautiful, glamorous mistress. But she wasn't in Paris. She was sitting in a dimly lit diner in Chicago. And sitting across from her, handing her a massive duffel bag, was Victor Moroni—the head of the rival crime family that Dante had been at war with for three years.
Dante frantically shuffled through the rest of the documents.
The bank statements showed millions of dollars being wired from Moroni’s accounts directly into the shell companies Dante had set up for Valentina.
Valentina wasn't just a gold-digging mistress. She was a highly paid, deeply embedded spy for the rival family. She had been hired to seduce Dante, isolate him from his loyal wife, and convince him to flee the country. Once Dante left the city tonight, the Moroni family was going to launch a massive, coordinated attack to seize Dante’s entire abandoned territory.
And Isabella had discovered the entire plot.
