Chapter 130. Blackmail

Anna’s feet felt like lead as she retraced her steps to Victor’s mansion. Every step echoed the decision she had made, the sacrifice she was about to seal.

When she reached the gates, they were already sliding open. A sleek black car was pulling out, its windows heavily tinted. It came to a stop just in front of her.

One of the back windows rolled down, revealing Victor, his sharp gaze locking onto hers.

“You’ve got my answer?” he asked, his voice smooth, expectant.

Anna forced herself to nod. “I’ll do it,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll walk away from him.”

Victor studied her for a moment, then smirked. “Smart girl.” He leaned back slightly, his fingers tapping against the steering wheel. “Get in.”

Her stomach twisted. “Why?”

His smirk didn’t waver. “Because deals with me aren’t sealed with words, sweetheart. They’re sealed with actions.”

Anna hesitated, but she already knew…this wasn’t over. It was just beginning.
