Chapter 1 - The Child's Accusation
The grand luxury living room of the Chicago mansion was completely silent, except for the crackle of the massive stone fireplace. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the ornate furniture and the towering, beautifully decorated Christmas tree in the corner.
But the festive atmosphere was suffocating under a blanket of pure tension.
Sitting in the center of the room on an expensive velvet sofa was Gabriel Moretti. In his 40s, with dark hair, a black suit, and a white unbuttoned shirt that revealed glimpses of dark chest tattoos, Gabriel was a feared, ruthless mafia boss. But right now, his dangerous presence was completely focused on the small, trembling child standing in front of him.
Lily, a three-year-old girl with brown hair tied in a delicate bow, wore a simple grey dress. Her small face was flushed red with tears and anger.
Standing a few feet away was Victoria. In her 30s, with wavy brown hair and an expensive beige coat draped over a silk shirt, she was Gabriel’s glamorous, wealthy fiancée. Victoria had just demanded that Gabriel fire the housekeeper immediately for stealing an expensive diamond bracelet from her open jewelry box on the coffee table.
But Lily, the housekeeper's daughter, wasn't having it.
With tears streaming down her face, the toddler raised her small arm and pointed an accusatory finger directly at the wealthy, glamorous woman.
