Chapter 30 Billionaire's Scandal

• Isabella paced her apartment, hand on her swollen belly. The city roared outside—sirens still echoing from Gerald’s arrest and release last night. His voice from that call haunted her: “You’re next.” He’d slipped the police with a fat bribe, leaving Adam and Alicia behind bars. Her chest felt tight. The baby kicked hard like it knew trouble was close. She glanced at Max, who sat on the couch, phone pressed to his ear.
• “Tony, dig faster, get your hands on anything!” Max said, voice sharp. “Gerald’s free and he’s coming for her, for us all.” He hung up and looked at Isabella. “We’ll stop him, Bella. I swear. I’ll never let him hurt you or our child.”
• She nodded, but deep down she was afraid. Gerald’s words earlier still made her heart skip. Isabella had always thought Max’s father loved her together with his son but she was wrong. The man hates her and her family.
