Chapter 5 - Nathan Revealed Himself at the Warehouse and Claimed Lily as His Heir, but Sofia Betrayed Him by Revealing the One Piece of Evidence He Had Never FoundThe warehouse smelled of oil and rain.
Nathan waited beneath a hanging light.
Older.
Calmer.
Still dangerous.
I had never met him.
But I knew instantly.
My father's brother.
My uncle.
The man who had been hiding behind the family history.
He smiled.
“Sebastian.”
“You're Nathan.”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
He laughed.
“Because your father stole everything from me.”
“So you stole my brother.”
“I protected Luca.”
“You killed him.”
He looked away.
“I didn't.”
“Then where is he?”
“Dead.”
The word hurt.
Nathan explained.
Luca had been killed four years earlier.
He had refused to give up the trust.
Nathan believed Lily was the final key.
He wanted her.
Not because he hated her.
Because he wanted access.
He claimed the family empire should have been his.
Then Sofia spoke.
“That's not true.”
Nathan turned.
She was still tied up.
“He promised me everything.”
“He lied,” Sofia continued.
Nathan slapped her.
I moved.
My men restrained me.
Then Sofia laughed.
“I recorded him.”
Nathan froze.
She had hidden a recorder.
It contained his confession.
Every detail.
Murder.
Fraud.
Kidnapping.
The evidence was enough.
Nathan tried to flee.
He failed.
The authorities arrested him.
Marco turned state's witness.
Sofia entered protective custody.
The immediate threat ended.
But the trust remained.

Lily was still the heir.
And I had a decision to make.
