Chapter 10 - Family Secrets
The war with the Volkov syndicate ended that night.
With their leader dead, the Russian mob fractured and retreated.
I took Sarah and Emma back to my rebuilt estate.
I gave them the master bedroom and made sure they had everything they needed.
Emma finally had a warm bed, plenty of food, and a family.
I officially adopted her, ensuring she would carry the Moretti name with pride.
Sarah became a sister to me, helping me run the legitimate side of my business.
The bakery where I first met Emma became her favorite place in the world.
We went there every Sunday for sandwiches and hot chocolate.
The darkness that had ruled my life for twenty years finally began to fade.
I had something worth living for now.
We were safe, happy, and together.
Late one night, I sat in my office staring at the rusted key Sarah had given me.
I decided to finally find the old safe deposit box it belonged to.
I opened the box at the bank and found a single Manila folder inside.
