Chapter 13 - The Last Person From the Old Empire Came Looking for RevengeThree years later, an old enemy escaped custody.
His name was Anthony Vale.
He had been one of Salvatore's lieutenants.
He blamed me for the collapse.
He wanted revenge.
One evening, he kidnapped Daniel.
My world stopped.
A message arrived.
COME TO THE OLD CLINIC. ALONE.
Lorenzo wanted to come.
I refused.
“This is my fight.”
“No.”
He looked at me.
“It's ours.”
We went together.
The clinic was the same place where we had first met.
The illegal room.
The old surgical table.
The place where I had saved his life.
Anthony stood there.
Daniel was tied to a chair.
“You started this,” he said.
“No.”
“You saved Lorenzo.”
“Yes.”
“And destroyed us.”
“You destroyed yourselves.”
He raised a gun.
Lorenzo stepped forward.
“Let him go.”
Anthony laughed.
“You gave up your empire for her.”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because she gave me back my life.”
Anthony looked at me.
“You're not worth it.”
I smiled.
“Maybe not.”
I stepped forward.
“But I'm worth protecting.”
He raised the gun.
Daniel kicked the chair.
It toppled.
Lorenzo moved.
Anthony fired.
The shot missed.
Police stormed inside.
He was arrested.
Daniel ran into my arms.
“Mom.”
I held him.
“You okay?”
“Yes.”

Lorenzo hugged both of us.
The nightmare was finally over.
