CHAPTER 8: Julian’s Real Debt

Victor revealed that Julian owed nearly four million dollars to private lenders after a failed hotel investment. He had hidden the debt through shell companies and borrowed against assets he did not own.

Ava’s trust was supposed to solve everything.

Ava looked at the man she nearly married.

“Did you ever love me?”

Julian’s expression shifted.

For one second, something almost human appeared.

Then he said, “Love does not pay debt.”
