Chapter 79 The Devil's Bargain

• The moon hung low in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the clearing where Aemilio faced Antonio and Raimundo. The tension was palpable, charged with the weight of past betrayals and present danger. Evangelina stood just behind Aemilio, her presence a constant reminder of what was at stake.
• Antonio surveyed the scene with a cold satisfaction, his lips curving into a sinister smile. "You've put on quite the show, Aemilio. But let's not pretend this is going to end well for you."
• Aemilio took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm. "Before I hand her over, I want to have a word with you, Antonio." His voice was steady, masking the turmoil inside him. "I want to know how you managed to take Evangelina's inheritance. It's impressive, really. People look up to you for how neatly you executed it."
