Chapter 14 - I Sold the Empire My Father Built So My Grandson Would Never Become Like MeI sold everything.
The clubs.
The warehouses.
The businesses.
The properties.
Every illegal operation.
Every weapon.
Every piece of the empire.
People called me weak.
I didn't care.
For the first time, I understood what strength really meant.
Strength wasn't making people fear you.
It was giving your family a life where they didn't have to fear you.
Mateo opened a small security company.
Elena became part of our family.
Isabella moved nearby.
And Leo grew.
Every morning, he crawled into my room.
Eventually he learned to walk.
Then run.
Then call me Grandpa.
The first time he said it, I cried.
Not because I was sad.
Because I finally understood that life had given me back more than it had taken.
But there was still one thing I needed to do.
