Richard watched the doorbell footage of Beatrice assaulting Rosa.

His jaw tightened, and a predatory gleam appeared in his eyes.

"Assault, battery, and emotional distress," Richard listed off easily.

"I want you to draft the divorce papers, but don't serve them yet."

She needed to bait Mateo into making one more fatal mistake.

"I want to buy Beatrice's mortgage," Elena commanded smoothly.

Richard smiled, already drafting the legal maneuvers in his head.
