Chapter 6 - I Entered Warehouse 19 Expecting an Ambush—Instead I Found My Missing Daughter Sitting Beside Elena and Calling the Woman “Auntie”The warehouse was silent.
Too silent.
I entered alone.
Or at least, that's what Victor believed.
My men surrounded the building from three sides.
I walked inside.
Elena was sitting against a wall.
Her hands were tied.
Beside her was the girl from the photograph.
She looked at me.
She didn't cry.
She simply whispered:
“Are you Daddy?”
My heart shattered.
I couldn't answer.
I walked toward her slowly.
She didn't move.
“What is your name?”
“Maya.”
The name from Isabella's note.
I crouched.
“Who told you about me?”
“Mommy.”
“Your mother?”
She nodded.
“Isabella.”
I closed my eyes.
My daughter was alive.
My wife hadn't lied.
She had protected her.
Then Victor stepped from the shadows.
“You finally came.”
I stood.
“Where is Isabella?”
Victor laughed.
“Dead.”
“Why?”
“Because she discovered the truth.”
“What truth?”
“That your empire was built on a lie.”
Before I could answer, gunfire erupted.
My men stormed the warehouse.
Victor escaped.
But Maya grabbed my hand.
“Daddy.”
I looked down.
She was shaking.
“Mommy said you would come.”
I pulled her into my arms.
For three years, I had believed I had lost everything.
Now I was holding the daughter I never knew existed.

But when Maya whispered the next sentence, my blood turned cold.
“Mommy said Uncle Marco was the only man she trusted.”
