Chapter 9 - The Man I Thought Had Been Dead for Ten Years Called Me His SonMy father contacted me.
He claimed he had been hiding because he knew Nico would kill him.
I didn't believe him.
He sent proof.
Bank transfers.
Photographs.
Documents.
Everything.
But I still hated him.
“You let me believe you were dead.”
“I was protecting you.”
“You let me grow into the man you were afraid I'd become.”
Silence.
“You were right.”
My father admitted it.
He had created the empire.
He had taught me fear.
He had taught Nico ambition.
He had taught us that family meant power.
And now his legacy was destroying everyone.
He wanted me to take control.
I refused.
“I don't want your empire.”
“Then what do you want?”
I looked at Lily.
“My daughter.”
My father was silent.
Then he said,
“Good.”
It was the first time I had ever heard approval in his voice.
He told me where Nico was hiding.
