CHAPTER 4 — THE TRUTH INSIDE THE MANSION
Vincent did not believe in coincidences.
And neither did the people who had tried to kill his son.
That night, he returned to the Moretti mansion.
Alone.
The estate was already being cleaned.
Blood removed.
Glass replaced.
Silence restored.
As if nothing had happened.
As if Lily Sinclair had not bled on their marble.
Vincent walked through the hallway until he reached security control.
Rewind.
Footage.
Replay.
He watched everything.
The assassins entering.
The breach.
The moment Lily moved.
And then something unexpected.
A second angle.
Hidden camera.
A voice.
One of the attackers speaking before the assault.
“Kill the boy quietly. The maid is irrelevant.”
Vincent stopped the recording.
Slowly.
Dangerously.
“Rewind,” he said.
He listened again.
And again.
And again.
Then he understood.
Lily had not been collateral.
She had been the only obstacle.
Someone inside his own circle had known Matteo would be targeted.
Someone had chosen the timing.
Someone had opened the door from the inside.
Vincent closed his eyes.

It felt like a trap.
