Chapter 10 - Someone Had Been Watching Our Children From Outside the House—And Sebastian Realized the Threat Was Bigger Than His Old EmpireSecurity cameras showed nothing.
No vehicles.
No trespassers.
No footprints.
Whoever took the photograph knew how to disappear.
Sebastian called in investigators.
The photograph was analyzed.
The image had been taken from a property across the lake.
We searched it.
Empty.
Except for one thing.
A small metal box.
Inside was an old Vale family emblem.
And a letter from Sebastian's grandfather.
He claimed the rival faction had been only a distraction.
The true goal was to control the children's inheritance.
The three children weren't simply heirs.
Together, they represented a legal claim to property, companies, and accounts accumulated by the Vale family over generations.
Whoever controlled them could legally challenge Sebastian's transfer of the empire.
The children weren't just targets.
They were leverage.
Sebastian refused to let that happen.
He put everything into trust.
The money would belong to the children only when they were adults.
No criminal could benefit from their existence.
Then he did something extraordinary.
He donated half the remaining legitimate family fortune to children's hospitals.
The media went wild.
The most feared mafia boss in New York was walking away from millions.
When a reporter asked why, Sebastian said:
“My children deserve a future that isn't built on fear.”
That quote went viral.
For the first time, people saw another side of him.
Not a boss.
A father.
But one person remained unconvinced.
May you like
His grandfather.
And he sent us a final message.
