The 99th Game Was Mine All Along novel Chapter 110

Chapter 14 

I’d landed in Switzerland and started working at Sophie’s company. Perfect fresh start. 

Sophie’s family had been major players in organized crime for generations. 

Now they were going legit, laundering their operation through a high–end jewelry business. She was more that excited when I offered to help with the transition. 

The plane crash? Sophie pulled strings to make it happen. Her connections back home also tracked down Hudson’s hired killer and got that confession on tape. 

After giving Noah the proper goodbye he deserved, I buried myself in work. Only way to keep the past in the past. 

Tried staying off social media, but some drama’s too big to miss. 

Hudson had gone nuclear on his mom – cut her off except minimum support payments, ghosted all her attempts to reach out. 

He’d taken back everything he’d given Valeria and publicly denied Leon was his son. 

Leon, spoiled beyond repair, couldn’t handle losing his luxury lifestyle. Tried armed robbery. Landed in prison. 

Valeria only had Leon as her golden ticket to Hudson’s fortune. Dream crashed, no skills, no sugar daddy… ended up working the streets. 

But she wasn’t young anymore. Loan sharks broke her legs. One night, fighting with a john over rates… they found her dead in some sleazy by–the–hour joint. 

I got deep into jewelry design, beyond just authentication. Sophie introduced me with some industry legends who showed me the ropes. 

Few weeks in, I created this pendant collection called “Angel” – all about a mother’s love. 

Every mom sees their kid as an angel, you know? 

Sophie entered the jewelry showcase. We didn’t expect much. 

Then boom – someone offers ten times asking price, just wants to meet the designer. 

That’s how I ran into Hudson again.
