A Tainted Bloodline Chapter 13
Epilogue【Darren’s POV】The bullet tore through my chest.Blood poured from the wound, staining the floor red.I collapsed onto the cold concrete, my consciousness fading.But in a strange way, I felt a moment of perfect clarity.All the fog had lifted. I finally saw the truth.Scarlett had never betrayed me.The letters, the photos, they were all Angelina's tricks.And I was the biggest fool in the world.I remembered Scarlett when she was pregnant.She would always gently stroke her belly, talking softly to our child."Little one, Daddy works very hard, but he loves us very much.""When you're born, the three of us will be so happy."Her eyes were filled with dreams for the future.How could I have ever thought that joy was fake?I remembered her getting up in the middle of the night to make me a snack.Even though she was pregnant and it was difficult for her to move, she insisted on taking care of me."You work too hard, you need to eat well," she would always say.Those gentle wor

【Darren's POV】That night, every Falcone family business came under attack.Docks were blown up, casinos were smashed, and all businesses paying protection money cut ties.Darren hid in a safe house as his men deserted him one by one.In the end, only his loyal driver, Leo, remained."Boss, we have to go," Leo urged. "All of New York is hunting us.""No," Darren shook his head. "I can't leave.""I have to pay for my crimes."He looked at the photo of his son, which he had torn from the DNA report."I killed my child, Leo.""I killed my only flesh and blood."Leo sighed. "Boss, you were deceived. But the madam was truly desperate back then. She was deeply hurt.""Not deceived. Stupid," Darren's voice was hoarse. "My suspicion and incompetence ruined everything."At midnight, the safe house was surrounded.It wasn't the police. It was assassins from other families, working for the Morettis. Cleaning house.Leo picked up his gun to fight back, but Darren stopped him."Let them in," Darren

"Don Moretti, I was wrong. I was so wrong," Darren knelt on the floor, his voice trembling.Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, staining his expensive suit.Stephan looked at him coldly. "You realize that now?""I can explain..." Darren looked up, his eyes filled with terror. "I didn't know Scarlett was your sister.""If I had known, I would never have...""Never have what?" I cut in. "Never injected me with poison? Never locked me in a cellar to die?"Darren looked at me, a flicker of hope in his eyes. "Scarlett, we still have feelings for each other.""I love you, you know that."I sneered. "Love?"Vincent approached and whispered in my ear, "Miss, we have important news."I nodded, and Vincent announced loudly, "Angelina's lover, Carlo Benedetti, has been... persuaded to talk. He confessed to everything.""What truth?" Darren’s face changed.I took two documents from my handbag and threw them in front of him."DNA reports.""The first one is for your son. Father: Darren Falc

Darren was so enraged by my cold smile that he was speechless, his jaw clenched tight.I shot him a contemptuous look."That's enough," I said coldly. "Vincent, show our guest out.""No one makes me leave," Darren snarled, his grip tightening. "You're coming with me."Vincent drew his gun, the barrel aimed directly at the back of Darren's head."Let go of Miss Moretti."Antonio, the Romano family boss, also stood up, his hand resting on his waist."Sir, you are threatening our consultant."The other family bosses rose to their feet, the room thick with killing intent.Darren looked around and sneered."You're all very dedicated. Your acting is almost believable."He suddenly yanked me towards the door."But I'm not buying it."Vincent cocked the hammer of his gun, but I raised a hand to stop him. "Let him try."Darren smiled triumphantly. "I still know you best, Scarlett. You don't dare let them shoot."He swung me over his shoulder."You all can keep acting. I'm taking my wife home."

"Finally found you," Darren's voice echoed through the conference room.All the mob bosses instantly tensed up, their hands instinctively moving towards the guns at their waists.Darren strode in, his eyes locked on me."Eight months, Scarlett. You hid yourself well."I slowly stood up, my voice calm. "Sir, you're in the wrong room.""Wrong room?" Darren sneered. "No. This is exactly where I need to be."Antonio, the Romano family boss, looked nervously at the intruder, then at me."Miss Moretti, shall we... deal with this intruder for you?"Darren's brow furrowed when he heard the title."Miss Moretti?" He sized up Antonio. "What did you call her?"Realizing his mistake, Antonio quickly shut his mouth.But another family boss had already stood up and bowed respectfully to me."Miss Moretti, perhaps we should leave you to your business?"Darren's pupils contracted sharply. "Moretti? What did you say?"The atmosphere in the room instantly froze.Everyone realized something was wrong and

I chose a burial plot for my deceased baby on the island.It was surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, peaceful and free.There was a white marble headstone, engraved with the words: "The Little Prince of the Moretti Family, Forever Loved."I knelt before the grave, gently stroking the cold stone."Forgive Mommy for not being able to protect you," my tears dripped onto the headstone. "But Mommy will get revenge for you."After that, I shed all my naivety and began to learn about managing the family business from my brother.I was his only living kin. The future of the Moretti family would one day be in my hands.Now, I had no other distractions. Once my body recovered, I would formally enter the inner circle.Stephan was a strict teacher. He did not allow me to show any weakness."Emotion is the shackles of the weak. Reason is the weapon of the strong," was his most frequent saying.I learned to threaten opponents at the negotiating table without batting an eye, to be as ruthless as any
