Chapter 6 - The Digital Heist
The blinding light pinned them against the damp earth like trapped animals.
Adrian shielded Clara and Lily with his own body, fully expecting a hail of bullets from Dominic's men.
Instead, the light clicked off, revealing a heavily armored SUV hidden in the thick brush.
Two of Enzo's most trusted, fiercely loyal soldiers stepped out, lowering their automatic weapons.
Enzo had secretly messaged his private backup team before the signal in the cellar was jammed.
They quickly piled into the armored vehicle, speeding away from the treacherous estate under the cover of darkness.
Adrian stared at Clara in the dim cabin light, absolutely amazed by her quiet, unyielding courage.
He gently wiped a smudge of dirt from Lily's cheek, feeling a deep, profound surge of affection for this small, broken family.
Enzo bandaged his bleeding arm in the front seat, grimly reporting that Dominic had just initiated a hostile takeover.
Dominic had called an emergency meeting at the shipping warehouse, telling the cartel capos that Adrian had gone completely insane and fled.
If Dominic signed the final contracts with the Russo cartel tonight, the Moretti empire would be permanently destroyed.
Adrian swore he would walk into that warehouse and kill his brother with his bare hands.
Clara suddenly spoke up, her voice surprisingly steady and completely devoid of fear.
She revealed that before she became a housekeeper, her maiden name was Valenti.
Adrian’s eyes widened in absolute shock, recognizing the name of the most legendary, brilliant mob accountant in mafia history.
Clara admitted her late father had taught her how to manipulate, track, and completely erase digital crime funds.
She pulled out the crumpled ledger she had stolen from Dominic's office and opened a secure laptop provided by Enzo's men.
Her fingers flew across the keyboard with astonishing speed, hacking directly into Dominic's hidden offshore accounts.
Within twenty minutes, she had successfully drained every single penny of Dominic's illegal fortune, transferring it to an untraceable charity.
Without that massive financial leverage, the Russo cartel would absolutely slaughter Dominic for wasting their time.
Adrian looked at Clara with deep respect and undeniable awe, realizing she was the most powerful weapon he possessed.

They arrived at a secure, off-the-books safehouse, preparing to launch their final counterattack.
Suddenly, the reinforced front door of the safehouse exploded inward in a massive shower of splintered wood and fire.
