A Mafia Billionaire Humiliated His Maid and Challenged Her to Dance—But One Dance Revealed the Horrifying Truth About Her Missing Mother!

The bullet struck the window beside Evelyn. Glass burst inward.

Alexander pulled her behind the wall. Marcus shouted for everyone to get down. Lena crawled toward the kitchen, where she could see the lake through a narrow side window.

A boat was moving away from the dock.

“Two people,” she called. “One at the wheel, one with a rifle.”

Marcus radioed the perimeter team. Alexander stayed with Evelyn, his hands shaking as he checked her for blood.

“I thought you were dead,” he said.

“It isn’t about money,” Evelyn said. “It’s about the evidence attached to it. The trust contains the location of the last ledger.”

Alexander looked at the paper. “Where?”
