Chapter 8 - The Man Who Raised Me Like a Father Was the Architect Behind My Wife's MurderHis name was Adrian.
My mother's older brother.
He had raised me after my father disappeared.
He had taught me business.
Taught me negotiation.
Taught me how to survive.
I had trusted him completely.
He had been beside me when Matteo died.
Beside me when Isabella died.
Beside me when Leo was born.
And all along, he had been orchestrating everything.
We confronted him.
He didn't run.
He smiled.
“You finally figured it out.”
My mother cried.
“Why?”
Adrian looked at her.
“Because your father chose Lorenzo.”
“What does that mean?”
“He chose Lorenzo to inherit everything.”
My mother shook her head.
“He was your son.”
“He was the weak one.”
Adrian believed Matteo should have inherited the family.
When Matteo refused to participate in human trafficking, Adrian arranged his disappearance.
When my father discovered the truth, Adrian arranged his disappearance.
When Isabella discovered the evidence, Adrian killed her.
When Leo was born, Adrian planned to eliminate him.
He wanted me to become ruthless.
He wanted me to destroy Salvatore.
Then he would control whatever remained.
But he made one mistake.
He underestimated my love for my son.
I arrested him.
Not with a bullet.
With evidence.
He was taken into federal custody.
