Chapter 7 - The Public Arrest
Four heavily armed federal agents marched directly into the warm hotel suite.
They completely bypassed the massive mafia boss and walked straight up to the weeping mistress on the floor.
"Serena Conti," the lead agent barked loudly, aggressively grabbing the pregnant woman by the arms and forcefully hauling her to her feet. "You are under arrest for massive wire fraud, corporate embezzlement, and criminal conspiracy."
"No! Get your filthy hands off me!" Serena shrieked wildly, her burgundy satin gown tangling around her legs as she desperately tried to fight the massive officers. "I am carrying a baby! You can't do this to me!"
The federal agents didn't care about her pathetic threats or her lies. They forcefully dragged the weeping, humiliated woman backward across the luxurious suite, completely exposing her to the vicious reality of federal prison. She was forcefully dragged out of the hotel and shoved into the back of a freezing police cruiser, her multi-million-dollar payout permanently erased in a single evening.
The chaotic, toxic energy was entirely dragged out of the room, plunging the reception suite back into a profound, heavy peace.
Matteo stood perfectly still, entirely alone.
He slowly looked down at the tiny ivory box in his hand. If he was completely sterile, and Serena was carrying his lieutenant's baby, a terrifying, impossible realization violently slammed into his chest.
He looked at Olivia's discarded diamond wedding ring on the mirrored table.

👉 Matteo rushed out of the hotel, desperately trying to find the wife who had just shattered his entire world.
