Chapter 8 - The Untouchable Sanctuary
The chaotic, toxic energy was entirely dragged out of the city, plunging the quiet master bedroom back into a profound, heavy peace.
Elias completely ignored the news alerts flashing on his digital tablet confirming his brother's public, humiliating arrest. He didn't care about the corporate fallout. He walked slowly back to the side of the massive, plush king-sized bed.
The woman wasn't weeping in sheer terror anymore. She was staring at the mafia boss with profound, overwhelming awe.
"Why did you do this for us?" she whispered softly, her pale face finally regaining a small amount of color.
"Because my brother is a coward," Elias stated clinically, his deep voice carrying undeniable warmth. "And I don't tolerate cowards in my city."
Six months later, Richard Vance was officially sentenced to three consecutive life sentences in a maximum-security federal penitentiary for attempted murder and massive financial fraud. Because Elias had flawlessly provided the concrete, undeniable video evidence, Richard's expensive corporate lawyers couldn't save him. He was entirely bankrupted, forced to rot in a concrete cell while the high-society world completely forgot his name.
The woman and her twin babies completely transformed.
Elias didn't force them to leave the mansion. He legally adopted the twins into his absolute protection, ensuring they would never be hunted or threatened by anyone ever again.
