Vinz and Alicia Francesco had long discussed the idea of relocating their family to a more peaceful environment, far from the constant threats that loomed over their empire in France. After much consideration, they chose Indonesia—a country ripe with opportunities, yet far enough from the centers of global power and underworld activity.
Their lavish estate, sprawled across a vast five-kilometer stretch of land on the outskirts of Jakarta, was secured under layers of high-end security measures. The mansion was not merely a house, but a fortress—a testament to the family's wealth and power, yet offering a sense of normalcy amidst their dangerous lifestyles.
Upon arrival, Vinz took on a more low-profile business identity, overseeing legitimate investments that would continue to generate billions while hiding in plain sight. Alicia, equally calculating, struck up alliances with influential figures in the Indonesian government and business world, ensuring that her family would remain insulated from public scrutiny.
Despite their best efforts to blend in, the Francesco family still garnered attention. Reporters and curious onlookers whispered about the mysterious family with wealth beyond comprehension. What the public didn't know, however, was that the Francesco family's vast fortune came with a darker history, one they could not completely escape.
Julian and Dianne, both still adjusting to their new lives, were given private tutors and trained in the ways of both their family legacy and the sophisticated world of global finance and power. Although young, their parents intended for them to inherit much more than the family's wealth—they would take up the mantle, if ever the time came, and lead with the same ruthlessness their father had mastered.
Meanwhile, the ever-vigilant bodyguards—Michel and Gary—had their eyes open, noticing every change in the air, every whisper in the shadows. It wasn't long before word began to circulate of a new powerful family that had taken root in Indonesia. And not all of it was good. There were whispers of old enemies—rivals from the past—who had heard of the Francescos' move, and they weren't ready to forget.
