Chapter 7 - My Mother Admitted She Had Helped Hide the Truth About Luca, and the Reason She Gave Me Nearly Broke My HeartMy mother came to the estate.
She looked old.
Tired.
Broken.
She admitted she knew.
“I helped your father.”
“Why?”
“Because I believed the system would protect you.”
“Instead, it nearly destroyed us.”
“Yes.”
She cried.
“I'm sorry.”
I asked:
“Did you know about the baby swap?”
“Yes.”
“Did you know Luca was alive?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn't you tell me?”
“Because Carlo threatened Matteo.”
I looked at my brother.
He nodded.
“He threatened all of us.”
My mother continued:
“Your father left a way to end the system.”
“What?”
“The heir can reject the entire trust.”
If Luca rejected it when he came of age, the network would dissolve.
Carlo wanted to prevent that.
That's why he needed Luca controlled.
I understood.
Our son wasn't valuable because of money.
He was valuable because he could destroy everything.

That made him dangerous.
And that made our family a target.
