Chapter 3 - The Poisoned Ledger
Inside the estate's private medical wing, Isabella was placed in a warm medical incubator while seven-year-old Emma sat on a soft leather couch, clutching a cup of hot chocolate, wrapped in a fleece blanket.
Alessandro sat beside Emma, leaning down to her eye level. "Emma, who else lived in that outer building with you and your mother?"
Emma took a small sip of cocoa, her voice trembling softly. "Uncle Julian... he came two days ago. He told Mama that if she didn't hand over the blue book, he would make sure we all disappeared."
Alessandro’s dark eyes narrowed into slits of deadly calm. Julian Moretti was Alessandro’s ambitious cousin, who had taken control of the syndicate’s offshore banking logistics after Isabella vanished five years ago.
Marco walked into the room, placing an encrypted tablet on the table. "Boss, we searched Julian's private office in the North Tower. He just booked a private charter flight to Zurich leaving at midnight."
"Why Zurich?" Alessandro asked, his voice dripping with venom.

"Because the blue book Emma mentioned is the original handwritten ledger of the Moretti bloodline trust," Marco revealed. "It contains the legal signatures required to transfer thirty percent of your family's global assets to a legal heir—and Julian realized baby Lily was Isabella’s legitimate daughter with you."
