Chapter 8 - My Sister Found the Ledger Hidden Inside an Old Teddy Bear—and Suddenly Everyone Wanted Her DeadMy sister remembered something.
Our mother had given her a teddy bear.
Inside was a hidden compartment.
The ledger.
Names.
Accounts.
Payments.
Murder orders.
Politicians.
Judges.
Police officers.
Businessmen.
The Valente family wasn't the only criminal organization involved.
The ledger could destroy half the city.
Victor wanted it.
Rachel wanted it.
Adrian's enemies wanted it.
And suddenly, my sister became the most important person in Chicago.
Adrian moved her to a secure hospital.
But Victor attacked.
The hospital went into lockdown.
Gunshots echoed through the corridors.
I found my sister hiding beneath a desk.
She handed me the teddy bear.
“Take it.”
I shook my head.
“No.”
“Take it!”
I did.
Then Adrian appeared.
He pulled us toward an emergency exit.
Emma was already safe.
