Chapter 10 - Julian Recalls The Tragic Night His Wife Died
Inside the private elevator descending toward the subterranean parking garage, Julian’s mind raced back to that fateful evening.
It was a cold rainy Tuesday in 2024 when Clara supposedly suffered a fatal heart attack in her master suite.
He had rushed up the grand staircase only to find paramedics shaking their heads over her motionless body on the rug.
Victoria had been there, weeping crocodile tears and comforting him while subtly hiding the medical evidence in her handbag.
“I was so blind... I let the fox into the henhouse because I trusted my oldest business partner,” Julian muttered angrily.
“Mom told you not to trust them, Daddy, but they always locked you in the boardroom with work,” Leo reminded him softly.
Julian winced at the innocent truth in his son’s words, vowing to prioritize his family above all corporate empires from now on.
The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing his bulletproof black SUV idling by the private exit.
His lead body guard stood waiting by the rear door, holding an encrypted tablet displaying real-time updates from headquarters.
