Chapter 8 - Nero Returned With Blood on His Fur—and the Evidence Needed to Destroy Everyone Who Betrayed UsAttached beneath Nero's collar was a small metal capsule.
Inside was a memory card.
The missing surveillance footage.
All eight minutes.
And more.
The recordings showed Marco entering the servants' wing.
Daniel planting documents.
Elena placing the listening device beneath Nero's fur.
And someone else.
A fourth person.
A man I knew.
My uncle.
He had been presumed dead for years.
But he had been running everything.
He had used Adrian.
Used Elena.
Used Marco.
Used Daniel.
And he had targeted Elsie because she was the last surviving heir to Adrian's evidence.
The final recording was the worst.
It showed my uncle meeting Adrian three years earlier.
Adrian was alive.
He told him he wanted out.
My uncle replied:
"You don't leave the family."
A gunshot followed.
Then the recording ended.
Sienna cried when she saw it.
I held her.
"He died protecting you."
She whispered:
"He died protecting Elsie."
Both were true.
