Chapter 5 - Lily Was the True Key to the Moretti Trust, and Rafael Had Kidnapped the Twins Because He Needed Their Voices to Unlock a Fortune Hidden for Seventeen YearsRafael's plan became clear.
The old family trust had been frozen.
It required both twins.
Not their blood.
Their voices.
A biometric protocol created before birth.
My father had never mentioned it.
Claire had discovered it.
That's why she had been killed.
The girls were taken because they were the only people who could unlock the assets.
Rafael wanted the money.
But more importantly, he wanted control over the organization.
The trust contained more than wealth.
It contained records.
Names.
Secrets.
Political leverage.
The foundation of the family.
We traced the children's location.
A private medical facility.
Rafael had converted it into a treatment center.
I entered with Elena.
We found Sofia first.
She was sitting in a chair.
Lily was beside her.
Rafael stood behind them.
“You came.”
I looked at him.
“You're older.”
“So are you.”
“Let my daughters go.”
“Not yet.”
He pointed toward Sofia.
“She can walk.”
I stared.
“You've been watching.”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because if she walks, she becomes dangerous.”
Sofia looked at me.
“Daddy.”
I stepped toward her.
Rafael raised a gun.
“Stay.”
Elena moved.
“Don't.”
Rafael looked at her.
“You ruined everything.”
She shook her head.
“No.”
“I'll kill you.”
Sofia suddenly stood.
Without the walker.
Without support.
One step.
Two.
Rafael froze.
She walked toward him.
Three.
Four.
He backed away.
“You…”
Sofia kept walking.
Elena smiled.
“She's not broken.”
Rafael's hand trembled.
He had spent years building a plan around the idea that Sofia would remain dependent.
Now she was standing.
The room changed.
Lily ran.
My security team entered.
Rafael escaped through a side door.
The girls were safe.
But the trust had already been activated.
The system recognized their presence.
A message appeared:
HEIRS CONFIRMED.
Then:
SUCCESSION PROTOCOL INITIATED.
My blood ran cold.
The trust was transferring.
To the twins.
But someone had remote access.
Rafael.
We had minutes.
Elena looked at the screen.
“That's what my mother meant.”
“What?”
“The girls together can shut it down.”
“How?”
“They have to say the same thing.”
“What?”
“I don't know.”
Lily walked toward the terminal.
She stared at it.
Then spoke.
“We're sisters.”
The screen flashed.
AUTHENTICATION ACCEPTED.
The trust froze.
Rafael had lost control.
But he had one final advantage.
My mother.
She walked into the facility.
I turned.
She held a gun.
“I'm sorry.”
I stared.
“Mom?”
She looked at the girls.
“They cannot have the empire.”
I moved in front of them.
“You've already lost.”
She started crying.
“I was trying to protect this family.”
“No.”
I shook my head.
“You were trying to control it.”
She lowered the gun.
Then whispering:
“Claire knew everything.”
I stared.
“She tried to stop me.”
“What did you do?”
“I helped Rafael.”
Silence.
“You helped kill my wife.”
She looked down.
“Yes.”
My blood turned cold.
“And Sofia?”
“I never meant for her to be hurt.”
“But she was.”
She cried.
“I am sorry.”
I didn't answer.
I couldn't.
Then Elena stepped forward.
“Adrian.”
I looked at her.
“She's not the end.”
“What?”
“Rafael is.”
She was right.
My uncle was still free.
And he had the family archive.

If we didn't find it, he could rebuild.
We needed to destroy the old system permanently.
