Lorenzo walked slowly down the grand sweeping staircase. He didn't look like a grieving, broken father. He wore a razor-sharp black suit, his dark eyes radiating pure, untouchable, and completely lethal authority. The apex predator had arrived to claim his territory.

He didn't yell. He didn't pull a weapon. With absolute precision, Lorenzo threw the stack of documents onto the center display table.

"Along with high-definition security footage of Camilla injecting heavy-metal toxins into a six-year-old child's IV line. And beneath that are the offshore wire transfers proving she hired the hitman who attempted to murder my fiancée four years ago."
