Chapter 7 - The Greedy Heir
"Don't lie to me," Luca growled, taking a slow, menacing step toward his older brother. "You knew exactly what the payments were for. Dad kept the deed in your name to keep it off the federal radar."
Adrian backed up until he bumped hard into the glass of the front window.
"I had to!" Adrian shrieked, completely losing his arrogant composure. "The commercial market crashed last year! I leveraged the entire downtown portfolio! The bank was going to foreclose on my company! I needed to sell this block to liquidate the assets!"
"So you stole the money Dad set aside for her," Luca stated, his voice devoid of any mercy. "You stopped paying the property taxes. You forced this diner into foreclosure, and then you showed up here today to throw the woman who saved our lives onto the street just to cover your own pathetic, greedy mistakes."
Adrian fell to his knees in his expensive grey suit, completely shattered by the exposure of his treason.
"Luca, please!" Adrian begged, his voice cracking with sheer terror. "I’m your brother! You can't turn on me for a stranger!"
