Chapter 23 - Victor Moretti Without Fear

People expected me to destroy Celina.

I did not.

That disappointed certain people.

A man approached me privately at a restaurant.

“I can make her life unpleasant.”

“No.”

He smiled like I was joking.

I wasn’t.

Celina had already turned my reputation into part of her story.

Victor is violent.

Victor is impossible to challenge.

Victor needs someone to civilize his daughter.

Every unlawful act I committed in retaliation would validate the mythology she had built around me.

So I did something people found less interesting.

Lawyers.

Courts.

Therapists.

Security reviews.

Boring.

Power is often measured by what a man can do.

I started measuring mine by what I did not need to do.
