Chapter 6 - The Secret Contract
Khloe dropped the phone onto the thick carpet, her mind spinning wildly with absolute, paralyzing terror.
She realized Roman might be playing a deeply twisted game to extract the missing fifty million dollars for himself.
She decided in that exact moment that she could not trust anyone in this ruthless, violent world.
Khloe quietly walked into Roman's home office and logged into his private computer using the administrative passwords she knew.
She frantically searched his highly encrypted files for any recent communication with the Valente crime family.
Instead of finding a betrayal, she stumbled upon a heavily secured legal document with her own name written on it.
She opened the file and read the contents with wide, completely disbelieving eyes.

He did not yell, nor did he punish her for breaking into his highly classified private network.
He slowly walked up behind her and explained that the document was absolutely not a contract to sell her to the rival syndicate.
It was his official last will and testament, legally leaving his entire legitimate corporate empire to her if he was ever killed.
Roman gently touched her shoulder and confessed that he had been completely, hopelessly obsessed with her for two entire years.
He leaned down to kiss her, and Khloe closed her eyes, finally giving in to the intense, burning attraction.
