The 99th Game Was Mine All Along novel Chapter 110

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.

That's how I ran into Hudson again.

I barely recognized him. Time had ravaged him - his dark hair now shot through with gray.

The sight of him made me recoil, and I instantly turned to escape.

"Reese, wait!"
