Chapter 30 - Chapter 30 – “The True Mastermind”

For years, the Sahputras thought they had faced every storm.

They were wrong.

One quiet morning in London, as Calvin reviewed some documents sent from Indonesia, something caught his attention. Hidden between the lines of old messages, financial transfers, and surveillance footage… was a name.

Ezra Althoff.

The man who once begged Fini to choose him. The man who left when she didn't. The man everyone thought had disappeared from their lives.

But he never left.

Ezra had been the invisible hand behind Liora's destruction. He whispered jealousy into her ears. Funded her revenge. Fed her the false hope that she could win Calvin back.

He faked letters. Paid people in the mansion. Even manipulated Maria, the maid, to spy on Fini.

When Calvin confronted him at a quiet hotel in Bali, Ezra simply smirked.

> "I told you. She should've been mine."

But this time, Calvin wasn't the same man Ezra once knew.

> "And now you're going to pay for everything."

The police came. The evidence was overwhelming.

Ezra Althoff was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

His final words to Calvin were chilling:

> "You think it's over. But stories like ours… they echo for generations."

Calvin didn't flinch.

> "Let it echo. We've already won."
