Chapter 9 - The Elevator Confrontation
Dante pushed past the investigator and ran into the brightly lit elevator lobby, his trousers still stained red with tomato sauce and wine.
Lena stood by the executive elevator, her beige coat wrapped elegantly around her, holding her handbag. The elevator doors were just sliding open.
"Lena! Stop!" Dante shouted, his voice echoing through the marble corridor. "Please! We can fix this! I love you! Sofia meant nothing to me—it was just business!"
Lena paused, stepping into the elevator and turning around slowly to look at him.
Her expression was entirely peaceful, free from the grief that had consumed her moments before.
"It was always business for you, Dante," Lena said, her tone smooth and crystal clear. "You married me for my father's company. You stayed with me to steal his legacy. But you forgot one thing."
Dante reached out, trying to grab the closing elevator doors. "What?! What did I forget?!"

"My father built this empire," Lena replied coldly as the doors began to shut. "And he taught me how to destroy anyone who tries to break it."
