Beatrice protected Nora.
She was shot.
For a moment, I thought she was dead.
She survived.
Barely.
At the hospital, I sat beside her.
“I should have believed you.”
She smiled.
“You eventually did.”
“I'm sorry.”
“You weren't supposed to know.”
“Why?”
“Because your father wanted you to survive.”
I looked at her.
“What else did he tell you?”
She handed me a key.
“Your mother's final safe.”
Inside was a complete ledger.
Every payment.
Every assassination.
Every bribe.
Every name.
