Chapter 6 - The Hidden Recording Revealed That My Family Had Lied to Me About EverythingThe files contained a recording.
My father's voice.
“Matteo will never understand.”
I listened.
He admitted he had built the trust.
He admitted Nico wanted control.
He admitted my mother knew.
But there was something else.
He had ordered my protection.
Not my death.
My father's greatest fear was that Nico would kill me and take control.
The accident that nearly killed me had been arranged years earlier.
The same organization had targeted me again last week.
The heart attack wasn't entirely natural.
My medication had been tampered with.
The little girl in yellow had saved me from a murder attempt.
I stared at Lily.
She had unknowingly interrupted an assassination.
My father continued speaking.
“If Matteo ever learns the truth, tell him Lily must never be raised in the family business.”
I stopped the recording.
For the first time, I understood.
My father had wanted me to escape.
But I had become exactly what he feared.
I had become the mafia boss.
Now I had a chance to break the cycle.
But Nico wouldn't allow it.
He called that night.
“Hello, brother.”
I stared at the phone.
“Nico.”
“You found the files.”
“Yes.”
“Then you know what happens next.”
“You come for Lily.”
“No.”

His voice became cold.
“I come for you.”
