Chapter 12 - Adrian Came Back One Last Time—and This Time He Wasn't Holding a GunAdrian appeared at the mansion unexpectedly.
He surrendered.
He was exhausted.
Broken.
He admitted that Elena had manipulated him for years.
He had believed revenge would make him whole.
It hadn't.
He asked to see Lily.
Moretti refused at first.
Then Lily walked into the room.
She looked at Adrian.
“You're Uncle Adrian?”
He nodded.
“I'm sorry.”
Lily tilted her head.
“Why?”
“Because I scared you.”
She thought for a moment.
Then she hugged her rabbit.
“Daddy says bad people can change.”
Adrian looked at Moretti.
Moretti said nothing.
Eventually, Adrian surrendered fully.
For the first time, the Moretti family had a chance to heal.
But one problem remained.
The mansion.
The place where Lily had first knocked on Moretti's door.
