Chapter 6 - The Cousin's Confession
The Florida heat was suffocating, but Dominic’s rage was colder than ice.
He and Marcus breached the front door of the Boca Raton mansion without breaking a sweat. Vanessa was lounging by the pool with a margarita when the glass doors shattered.
She screamed, dropping her glass as Dominic stalked toward her like a predator.
"Dominic!" she shrieked, backing into a deck chair.
"Where is the proof, Vanessa?" Dominic demanded, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her into the living room. "I know about the staged affair. I know Julian paid you. Give me the evidence, or I will let my security team handle you."
Vanessa broke instantly. She was a coward, bought and paid for.
"I have it!" she sobbed, dropping to her knees. "Julian threatened to kill me if I ever told! I kept insurance!"
She scrambled to a hidden safe behind a painting and pulled out a USB drive. "It’s audio. Julian admitting to drugging your coffee so you’d sleep through the Tokyo flight, admitting to wearing your watch, admitting he hired the mercenaries to track Clara down. He said if she ever had a baby, he’d kill them both!"
Dominic took the drive, disgust rolling off him in waves. "You destroyed my life for a house in Florida."

"I was broke, Dominic! Clara had everything!"
"If you ever go near my wife or my son again," Dominic whispered, leaning close to her ear, "I will ensure you vanish. And Julian won't be the one they blame."
