Chapter 11 - I Learned the Real Reason Enzo Had Been Searching for Me Wasn't My Blood—It Was a Promise My Father Had Made to His BrotherMarco had left behind letters.
They explained everything.
He had worked with my father.
My father had once promised to protect Enzo after Paolo began manipulating the family.
But my father died.
Marco continued the promise.
He searched for me because I was connected to the same people.
He believed if I reached Enzo, we'd both uncover the truth.
He had planted clues.
The employment agency.
The photographs.
The medical records.
The note.
He had manipulated events.
But not to hurt us.
To bring us together.
I confronted Enzo.
“You knew?”
“Not everything.”
“Did you know Marco arranged my employment?”
“Yes.”
“You lied.”
“I was afraid you'd leave.”
I stared.
“That's not acceptable.”
“I know.”
He looked ashamed.
“I spent my life believing control was protection.”
“And now?”
“I know better.”
That mattered.
He wasn't the same man.
Neither was I.
I forgave him.
But I made one demand.
“No more secrets.”
May you like
He nodded.
“Agreed.”
