Chapter 9 - The Final Enemy Couldn't Understand Why Vincent Was Willing to Lose Everything AgainArthur Cross kidnapped Tobias.
He wanted the last evidence.
He wanted Vincent dead.
He wanted me to sign over the remaining legitimate trust.
We didn't give him anything.
Instead, we exposed him.
Every account.
Every official he bribed.
Every illegal company.
Every murder.
Everything.
Vincent made one choice.
He gave investigators the entire Moretti archive.
Even the documents that could have damaged him.
I asked why.
He said:
"If we hide one thing, we're no better than they were."
Cross was arrested.
Tobias was rescued.
My father was finally free.
The old empire ended forever.
Vincent stood on the courthouse steps after everything.
No bodyguards.
No black cars.
No empire.
Just a man beside me.
"Do you regret it?" I asked.
"No."
"Not even the money?"
He smiled.
"Money bought me fear."
He looked at me.
"You gave me peace."
I kissed him.

The city watched.
For once, nobody was afraid.
