Chapter 6 - The Brother's Betrayal
The cinematic realism of the terrifying tension completely paralyzed the hallway.
Damian read the glowing screen of the burner phone.
Unknown Number: Is she dead yet? The board meeting is tomorrow.Alina: Two more days. The substitute pills are completely shutting down her kidneys. She won't wake up.Unknown Number: Make sure she dies before Friday. I need him completely broken and distracted when I initiate the hostile takeover.
Damian’s heart physically stopped beating. He didn't need to trace the untraceable number. He recognized the exact phrasing, the ruthless impatience, and the specific reference to the Friday board meeting.
The man paying the maid to murder his wife was Julian—Damian’s own estranged, viciously greedy stepbrother.
Julian was a rival CEO who had been desperately trying to steal Damian’s multi-billion-dollar tech empire for a decade. Julian knew that Damian's only weakness was his fierce, unconditional love for Elena. If Elena died, Damian would be completely paralyzed by grief, entirely abandoning the company and leaving the door wide open for Julian to seize absolute control.
Damian slowly lowered the burner phone. The profound, agonizing heartbreak of his brother's betrayal instantly vanished, violently replaced by a cold, absolute, and undeniably demonic fury.
