Chapter 10 - Rafael Told Me the Truth About Why He Wanted My Daughter
I woke in an abandoned warehouse.
Rafael sat across from me.
“You know why you're alive?”
I said nothing.
“Because Alessandro would burn New York to find you.”
“You're obsessed with him.”
“No.”
He smiled.
“I'm obsessed with what he represents.”
He explained that Rafael had once been Alessandro's closest friend.
But Sofia had discovered the corruption.
She wanted Alessandro to leave.
Rafael believed she would destroy everything.
So he ordered the bombing.
But he didn't know she had survived long enough to give birth.
Emma was the loose end.
He wanted her because Sofia had hidden the evidence inside something only her child could access.
“What?”
Rafael smiled.
“Her necklace.”
I remembered the tiny necklace Emma had worn since infancy.
It had belonged to Sofia.
Inside was a key.
A physical key.
It opened a vault.
Alessandro arrived.
The warehouse doors exploded open.
He found me.
He found Emma.
And he found Rafael.
Rafael raised his gun.
Alessandro stepped between him and us.
“It's over.”
Rafael laughed.
“You can't kill me.”
“I don't need to.”
Alessandro lowered his weapon.
“I want you alive.”
Police stormed inside.
Rafael was arrested.
