MICHEAL'S POV:
My hesitation was palpable as i leaned back in my chair, my eyes scanning Vanessa's face for any sign of deception. The stakes of trusting her couldn't be higher, but so was the allure of finally putting an end to Victor's reign. I glanced at Isabella, who sat beside me, her hand protectively over her belly, her expression resolute.
"This isn't just about us anymore," Isabella said softly, her voice steady but laced with urgency. "It's about our child. We can't let Victor's shadow loom over their future. We need to take this chance, Michael."
Vanessa's lips curled into a faint smirk, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of desperation. "Your wife's got a point, Michael. I didn't risk everything to sit here and play games. I'm offering you a way out, a way to destroy Victor. But this... immunity deal? It's non-negotiable."
