Chapter 12 - THE SECRET MISTRESS

As Willow glided through the museum's European sculpture wing, a young woman in an emerald green sequin dress stepped out from behind a pillar.
It was Victoria, Julian's secret side mistress whom Willow had discovered three weeks prior to the Plaza incident.
Victoria's face was pale, her dark eyes filled with desperate anxiety as she held a designer handbag tightly against her waist.
"Willow... please," Victoria whispered, stepping into her path with trembling hands. "You have to help me."
Gabriel instantly stepped between them, his hand resting discreetly inside his tuxedo jacket near his shoulder holster.
"It's alright, Gabriel," Willow said softly, gesturing for her guard to stand down slightly. "What do you want, Victoria?"

"Julian's legal team is trying to blame me for the offshore transfers!" Victoria sobbed softly. "They said if I don't sign a false confession, they'll destroy my family!"
Willow looked at the girl with cold, calculating eyes, realizing Julian's mother was still trying to play dirty legal games from the shadows.
