Chapter 7 - My Sister Took a Bullet Meant for Me—And Her Final Whisper Exposed Victor's Greatest SecretVictor attacked during a charity gala.

The ballroom was full.

Music played.

Guests danced.

Then the lights went out.

Gunfire erupted.

Dante pulled me behind a pillar.

Marco returned fire.

Security evacuated the guests.

I heard someone scream.

Vanessa.

She had stepped in front of me.

A bullet struck her shoulder.

She fell.

I rushed to her.

"Vanessa!"

She grabbed my hand.

"He's coming for you."

"Who?"

"Victor."

Blood covered her dress.

She whispered:

"There's a second ledger."

"Where?"

"In Dad's old house."

I stared.

"What ledger?"

"The one Victor couldn't find."

She closed her eyes.

"Don't let him get it."

The ambulance arrived.

Vanessa survived.

But the second ledger became our next target.

We found it beneath a floorboard in my father's old study.

It contained the truth.

Victor had planned the kidnapping.

He had manipulated my mother.

He had stolen money from Dante.

And he had killed the security officers who tried to stop him.

But the final page contained something worse.

Victor had been working with someone else.

Someone inside Dante's organization.

Someone who had access to every security system.

Marco looked at the name.

His face changed.

"That's impossible."

I read it.

Then looked at Dante.

The traitor was his most trusted lieutenant.
