Chapter 31 - the european ghost
Two decades of absolute peace transformed the Cross family legacy. Sophia, once a quiet six-year-old girl in a yellow cardigan, was now a brilliant and formidable twenty-six-year-old woman. She ruled the corporate empire of Boston with the same calculating intellect her father used to dominate the underworld.
Damian stepped back into the shadows, enjoying a quiet retirement at the fortified countryside estate. The legendary guard dog Bruno had long since passed, but his massive descendant, a jet-black Cane Corso named Titan, never left Sophia's side.
However, the sins of the past rarely stay buried overseas. A new, sophisticated European syndicate aggressively entered the city, systematically dismantling the Cross family's shipping contracts through brutal intimidation.
The leader of this new invasion was a ruthless young man named Julian. He wasn't just a competitor; he was the son of Victor, the treacherous brother Damian exiled twenty years ago. Julian had returned to claim the throne.
