Chapter 10 - The False Victory
Norah arrived at the remote, luxurious cabin she had purchased through a shell company.
The snow-covered retreat was beautiful, completely secluded, and heavily fortified.
She carried her single bag inside and locked the heavy reinforced door behind her.
She checked her encrypted laptop on the kitchen counter to verify her funds.
The money was perfectly secure, and the news channels were exclusively covering the death of Matteo Rossi.
The nightmare was finally over, and the mafia empire was burned to ashes.
Norah walked down the hallway and pushed open the door to the pre-arranged nursery.
She smiled at the beautiful wooden crib, feeling truly safe for the first time in her entire life.
A floorboard creaked loudly in the dark corner of the room.
The closet door slowly swung open, revealing a figure hiding in the shadows.
A woman stepped out into the dim light, holding a heavy, silenced pistol with perfect aim.
It was Harper, the mistress from Santorini.
