Chapter 9 - My Father Revealed the One Person Matteo Was Really Afraid OfThe video showed my father sitting beneath the oak.
He looked older.
Tired.
But calm.
“Alessandro.”
He looked directly into the camera.
“If you are watching this, then I failed to stop Matteo.”
He explained that Matteo wasn't afraid of the police.
He wasn't afraid of me.
He wasn't even afraid of death.
He was afraid of one person.
Elena.
Because Elena knew where the original evidence was hidden.
Not the ledger.
Something greater.
A recording of Matteo confessing everything.
Elena had hidden it.
But she had forgotten where.
Until Sofia reminded her.
A lullaby.
The same lullaby my father used to sing.
The words contained a coded location.
The old chapel.
We went there.
Inside the altar, we found a recording.
Matteo's confession.
Every crime.
Every betrayal.
Every murder.
Including my father's.
We had him.
