Chapter 8 - The Prison Beneath the CityMoretti kept me beneath an old government building.
There was no cell door.
No guards.
Only concrete.
He wanted me alive.
He wanted me to watch my empire collapse.
For three days, I was interrogated.
He asked for bank codes.
Territory.
Names.
I gave him nothing.
On the fourth night, the lights went out.
A guard screamed.
The door opened.
Elena stood there.
Behind her were Ricardo and Victor.
“You took too long,” I said.
Elena smiled.
“I had to rescue you.”
We escaped through an underground tunnel.
But Moretti was waiting at the exit.
He had my father with him.
My father looked at me.
“I'm sorry.”
I laughed.
“Now?”
He nodded.
“I thought power would protect us.”
“It destroyed us.”
Moretti raised his gun.
Then my father stepped between us.
The shot hit him.
He fell.
“Dad!”
He looked at me.
“Your mother would be proud.”
Then he died.
Moretti escaped.
But he left one thing behind.
A ledger.
The original ledger.
The proof Elena needed.
We had finally found it.
Now we could expose everyone.
But when we opened it, one final name appeared.
Elena.

I looked at her.
She went pale.
