Chapter 10 - The Truth Went Public in Minutes—But My Father Had One Last Weapon and It Was the Woman He Knew I Would Never AbandonEvery file was transmitted.
Names.
Accounts.
Research.
Photographs.
Medical experiments.
Everything.
News organizations received the files.
Federal agencies received them.
The world saw the truth.
My father's empire collapsed in hours.
But he wasn't finished.
He grabbed Chiara.
A gun against her head.
"Dante."
I froze.
"Stop the transfer."
"No."
He tightened his grip.
"I'll kill her."
Chiara looked at me.
"Don't."
My father smiled.
"Choose."
I looked at her.
Then at him.
"You don't understand."
"What?"
"I already chose."
I lowered my gun.
He smiled.
Then I stepped aside.
Security entered.
Valentina had surrounded the building.
My father was arrested.
Chiara was safe.
The children were rescued.
The files were preserved.
The network collapsed.
But the story wasn't over.
Because my father revealed that one person had escaped.
Dr. Matteo Bellini.
The doctor who had helped begin everything.
He was still free.
He had taken the research data.
And he had one goal.
Mia.
The little girl who found the cassette.
Why?
Because Mia's mother had unknowingly been part of the network.
Giulia's blood carried another marker.
The final piece.
I stared at my maid.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Giulia cried.
"I didn't know."
Mia looked confused.
"Why does everybody know secrets?"
I knelt.
"Adults are very bad at telling the truth."
She nodded.
"Okay."
Then she asked:
"Are we going home?"
May you like
I smiled.
"Yes."
