Chapter 5 - We Found an Underground Nursery Beneath My Father’s Abandoned EstateThe underground room looked like a child's nursery.
Toys.
Cribs.
Photographs.
Medical equipment.
Moretti stood in the doorway, horrified.
Adrian had built the room for Lily.
But why?
Then he found the documents.
Lily's blood type.
Medical history.
DNA profile.
School plans.
Everything.
Someone had been preparing to take her.
A voice came from behind him.
“You finally found it.”
Moretti turned.
Adrian stood in the doorway.
Alive.
Older.
Scarred.
Smiling.
For five years, Moretti had believed his brother was dead.
Now they stood face-to-face.
“You should have stayed dead.”
Adrian laughed.
“You should have paid more attention to your family.”
He revealed that their father had created the trust for Lily because he believed Moretti would eventually abandon the criminal life.
The trust would transfer to Lily when she turned eighteen.
Adrian wanted it.
Moretti wanted his daughter alive.
The two goals collided.
Adrian pulled out a gun.
But before he could fire, Lily appeared behind Moretti.
“Daddy?”
Adrian stared at her.
Then his smile disappeared.
“You really do have his eyes.”
Moretti stepped between them.
“Touch my daughter and you die.”
Adrian laughed.

“That's exactly what I was hoping you'd say.”
Then the lights went out.
