Chapter 5 - Sofia Was Taken Because She Carried the One Secret My Enemies NeededThe warehouse was empty.
Too empty.
I walked inside alone.
“Daniel.”
Maria's voice came from somewhere above me.
I looked up.
She was standing on a metal platform.
Sofia was beside her.
A gunman stood behind them.
Then a man stepped from the shadows.
Victor Russo.
Vincent Russo's younger brother.
I recognized him immediately.
“You.”
He smiled.
“Your father ruined my family.”
“This isn't about your brother.”
“No.”
He looked at Sofia.
“This is about what Gabriel left behind.”
Maria's face went pale.
“What did Gabriel leave?”
Victor laughed.
“Ask her.”
I looked at Maria.
She closed her eyes.
“Daniel…”
“Tell me.”
“My husband discovered that your father had ordered your mother's death.”
The world stopped.
“What?”
“He didn't kill her himself.”
“Then who?”
“Your father hired someone.”
My hands trembled.
“Why?”
Maria looked at Sofia.
“Because your mother wanted to leave him.”
I couldn't breathe.
My entire childhood had been built on a lie.
Then Victor said the words that changed everything.
“Gabriel recorded the confession.”
“Where?”
Victor smiled.
“Sofia knows.”
I looked at the little girl.
She was clutching her stuffed rabbit.
