Chapter 9 - Victor Had Prepared a Funeral for Sophia Before He Even Found Her, and Luca Finally Confronted the Uncle Who Had Destroyed His FamilyVictor had taken the old Moretti chapel.

Inside were flowers.
A coffin.
A photograph of Sophia.
I felt sick.
He had prepared a funeral for a baby who was still alive.
Luca walked inside.
Victor appeared.
“You finally came.”
“Yes.”
“You brought her.”
“No.”
Victor laughed.
“I know where she is.”
“No.”
Luca stepped closer.
“This ends tonight.”
Victor smiled.
“You sound like your father.”
“My father was weak.”
“He protected the family.”
“He destroyed it.”
Victor looked at me.
“You have no idea what this child carries.”
“She carries a future.”
“She carries power.”
“Not yours.”
Victor raised a gun.
Luca moved.
A struggle.
Security stormed in.
Victor was arrested.
But before they took him, he looked at me.
“Your mother lied to you.”
“About what?”
“The trust.”
I froze.
“There is no money.”
He smiled.
“There is only evidence.”
Luca looked at him.
“What evidence?”
“The truth about who ordered Alessandra's disappearance.”
He laughed.
Then officers took him away.
Luca turned toward me.

I knew.
This wasn't over.
