Chapter 6 - The Attorney Who Built a Criminal Kingdom Without Firing a GunMarcus Vale had never pulled a trigger.
He didn't need to.
He built systems.
Accounts.
Contracts.
Shell companies.
He made criminals rich and politicians obedient.
He had been behind Victor.
Behind Vincent Valente.
Behind the warehouse attacks.
Now he wanted Sienna.
She was the final heir.
Marcus believed she would sign.
She refused.
He kidnapped Claire.
Sienna volunteered for the exchange.
Nico objected.
She smiled.
"You've taught me too well."
They planned carefully.
The exchange took place at an abandoned theater.
Marcus waited.
He wanted the ledger.
Sienna brought it.
But the book was empty.
She had removed the pages.
Marcus realized too late.
Nico's people surrounded the theater.
Marcus tried to escape.
He was captured.
But before he was arrested, he revealed one last secret.
"Luca never died."
Nico froze.
"My father?"
Marcus smiled.
"He survived."
Sienna looked at him.
"What?"
Marcus claimed Luca had spent years hidden, recovering from the attack.
He had been protecting Sienna from a distance.
Nico had never known.
They followed the trail.
And found Luca.
Alive.
Older.
Weak.
But alive.
Sienna cried.
Nico froze.
His father looked at him.
"I failed you."
Nico hugged him.
For years, he had believed his father dead.
Now he had him back.
Luca looked at Sienna.
"My daughter."
She smiled through tears.
"My father."
The family finally reunited.
But Victor remained.
He attacked one last time.
Luca was wounded.
Sienna nearly lost him.
Nico hunted Victor.
Sienna stopped him.
"Don't become your father."
Nico froze.
She touched his face.
"Come home."
He did.
