"You love my empire," Dante corrected softly, completely immune to her pathetic, fake tears.

With his free hand, Dante reached over to the bedside table and picked up his encrypted smartphone.
"While you were busy playing the grieving widow in my lobby," Dante stated coldly, "my cyber-team was actively tracing the wire transfers you sent to the hitmen who shot up my car."
Serena’s eyes widened in sheer, unadulterated horror.
"Initiate the complete liquidation of Serena's personal accounts," Dante ordered his Chief Financial Officer, putting the phone on speaker so the treacherous fiancée could hear her own devastation.
