Chapter 13 - The Hidden Past
Two weeks after the incident, the Moretti estate was fully restored to order. The betrayal of Dante Russo had been completely wiped clean, and Adrian's operations were stronger than ever.
Elena was adjusting to her new role as House Manager, wearing a sharp charcoal suit instead of her maid uniform. Sophia spent her afternoons playing in the sunlit estate gardens with Titan following her everywhere like a silent, giant guardian.
One afternoon, while organizing the estate's historical archives in the library, Adrian stumbled upon a file brought in by his private investigator.
It was the background file on Elena Castillo.
As Adrian flipped through the yellowed pages, his eyes widened in genuine shock.
Elena wasn't just a random woman who had applied for a housekeeping job four months ago.
Her maiden name was Elena Vance—the daughter of Marcus Vance, the legendary federal prosecutor who had been betrayed and murdered by rival syndicates six years ago.
