My Four-Year-Old Maid’s Daughter Dropped a Filthy VHS Tape Beside My Silver Lighter at Our Family Dinner
/
Chapter 11 / 15
Chapter 11 - I Gave Up the Moretti Empire and Turned the Family Estate Into a Safe Home for Children Who Had No One Left to Protect ThemThe estate changed.
The dining room where my sister's secret had exploded became a library.
The old nursery became a counseling center.
The hidden room became an archive.
The wine cellar became a legal aid office.
The house filled with people.
Children.
Families.
Lawyers.
Social workers.
The Moretti name became associated with something different.
Not fear.
Protection.
Sophie grew.
Elena became head of the family program.
I became chairman.
Not because I wanted power.
Because I wanted control over something good.
Every October 12, we held a memorial dinner.
No Barolo.
No expensive lamb.
Just simple food.
One empty chair for Alessandra.
And one VHS player.
We played the tape.
May you like
Every year.
So nobody forgot.
