Chapter 11 - I Gave My Sister Control of the Company Victor Had Stolen—And She Made a Decision That Shocked EveryoneEmily didn't want money.
She wanted independence.
So I offered her something else.
Control.
I gave her ownership of one of the legitimate companies Kane had tried to destroy.
She stared at me.
“You're serious?”
“Yes.”
“I don't know how to run a company.”
“You'll learn.”
“What if I fail?”
I smiled.
“Then you fail.”
She laughed.
It was the first real laugh I'd heard from her in years.
She rebuilt the company.
She hired survivors.
Created a foundation for victims of domestic abuse.
And turned the building where Victor once conducted illegal deals into a community center.
The irony wasn't lost on either of us.
Meanwhile, I began dismantling the criminal side of my own organization.
Some people called me weak.
Others called me foolish.
I didn't care.
My father had spent his final years trying to escape the world that killed him.
I wouldn't repeat his mistake.
Marcus stayed beside me.
“You're changing everything.”
“Yes.”
“Some people won't like it.”
“They don't have to.”
One evening, Emily walked into my office.
She placed a folder on my desk.
“What's this?”
“The final investigation.”
I opened it.
There was one remaining name.
A person who had helped Kane after his arrest.
A person who had been hiding for years.
Emily looked at me.
“She knew our mother.”
My blood ran cold.
“Who?”
May you like
Emily whispered:
“Your aunt.”
