Chapter 4 - The Betrayal
Four years ago, Clara had uncovered that Enzo was secretly funneling millions out of the syndicate’s offshore accounts. Before she could hand the evidence to Dante, Enzo framed her for treason, forcing her to flee in the middle of the night to protect her life.
Dante had spent years believing Clara had betrayed him and stolen the syndicate's ledger. But seeing Lucy holding the black rook—the identical symbol of ultimate trust they had shared during their youth—he realized the horrifying truth. He had been lied to by his most trusted lieutenant.
"Where did the bad men take your mama, Lucy?" Dante asked softly, kneeling in front of the toddler again.
"To the dark house near the water," Lucy whispered, her small fingers wrapping around Dante's thumb. "The man with the scar on his neck locked her in the basement."
A man with a scar on his neck. That was Enzo’s chief enforcer, Victor.
