Saint Michael's Church had been abandoned for twenty years. The Council of the Five Families chose it for the hearing because it was neutral ground, its stone walls were thick, and no weapons were allowed inside.

My father sat at the center of the defendants' bench, Vincent on his left and a handcuffed Luca on his right. Enzo was held separately. Gianna was nowhere to be seen.

Alessandra split the evidence into five sets, one for each person's role in my death. Instead of accusing them all at on

    Alessandra shut off the video. Mara pressed a hand to Alessandra's bleeding shoulder. "We already have enough to convict Gianna. She's using Vincent as bait.""Vincent isn't someone I need to save." Alessandra fastened her coat. "But Gianna doesn't get to keep a single thing Liliana left behind."She sent the police the location and ordered them to stop two blocks away. Once the perimeter was secure, she entered the abandoned clinic alone.The red cord pulled me after her. Gianna had tied Vincent to a surgical chair. She pressed a gun against his neck, and a can of gasoline sat at her feet."Drop the gun." Alessandra obeyed."On your knees." She didn't move. Her expression didn't change.Gianna slammed the gun into Vincent's ribs. "Kneel or I kill him.""He locked the door himself and watched Liliana bleed." Alessandra's voice stayed calm. "What made you think I care whether he lives?"Gianna's face twisted. She kicked over a steel tray, scattering the rose stones, silver key, and reco

    Alessandra reached Saint Brigid before the deadline, but refused to resume her sentence. Instead, she took Dominic, Mara, and two witnesses into the underground archives. The three missing accountants were locked inside a glass room. My father and the other four dons waited by the terminal, armed men behind them. Each don had brought a takeover agreement. They hadn't come to witness an inheritance. They'd come to divide the Moretti empire after Alessandra died.My body had been moved to a separate morgue. Alessandra had taped my father's cremation order to the door for everyone to see.My father glared at it, then demanded Alessandra hand over her authority as primary beneficiary.Gianna stepped out of a maintenance passage. She demanded that my father add her name to the succession charter, then inserted the rose-stone chip into the silver key."The key is genuine," a witness confirmed.Gianna glanced toward my body and smiled. "Liliana died without ever knowing the little stone she w

    Less than two hours remained before the eighteen-hour deadline.The Council had suspended my father's power, but he was still the Black Harbor Trust's second signatory. On his way into custody, he used his emergency authority to freeze the port's wages, pensions, and medical funds. Thousands of workers were now Alessandra's responsibility.The same message played across the city: Unless Alessandra returned to Saint Brigid Island, every dockworker would lose their income.An angry crowd gathered outside the shipyard. Some remembered that Alessandra had restored their death benefits. Others had children who needed medicine. But they didn't know my father had frozen the money. All they knew was that Alessandra could end it by going back.In the temporary meeting room, my father laid an old family photo on the table. Eleven-year-old Alessandra carried an injured Luca on her back while I clung to her coat."Your sister could never stand to see anyone suffer." My father looked at her. "Go ba

    Saint Michael's Church had been abandoned for twenty years. The Council of the Five Families chose it for the hearing because it was neutral ground, its stone walls were thick, and no weapons were allowed inside.My father sat at the center of the defendants' bench, Vincent on his left and a handcuffed Luca on his right. Enzo was held separately. Gianna was nowhere to be seen.Alessandra split the evidence into five sets, one for each person's role in my death. Instead of accusing them all at once, she forced each of them to face what they had done.In front of Vincent were the blood evidence from the fireplace, the forged document's timestamp, the footage outside my door, and the recording of him locking me in.Luca got the severed emergency communications, the vote to confine me, his attack on Mara in the tunnel, and the murder weapon from ten years ago.Enzo got the west-wing access logs, deleted footage, disabled emergency signal, and body-transfer papers.In front of my father wer

    The North Tunnel had three lanes but only one exit at each end. Instead of charging in, Alessandra took over the freight system and sent twelve container trucks to block the south entrance. Then she killed the main lights, leaving only the dim red emergency lamps.She had designed the dispatch system herself ten years ago. Luca thought he'd trapped one ambulance. He didn't realize the entire port was now her cage.We entered from the north. The ambulance sat across the middle lane. Luca had Mara outside, a gun pressed under her jaw.Mara saw my face on Alessandra and began to struggle."Liliana?""That's not Liliana." Luca grabbed her hair. "Look carefully. That's the saint of a sister who gave up ten years of her life for me."Alessandra stopped about sixty feet away, her gun at her side."Let Mara go.""Move the trucks first.""You have nowhere to run."Luca laughed. "Have you forgotten what happened ten years ago? You confessed in front of the Five Families. Nobody forced you. You t

    Vincent used Gianna's hospital transfer to slip past Trust security. Alessandra found him at the old shipyard, preparing a speedboat to escape.Gianna survived, but her right hand was permanently damaged. She would never hold a gun steady again. Vincent thought he could keep running the crew, until the dock gates slammed shut around him.Alessandra entered the control room with two security officers and an evidence terminal."I can help you catch Luca, and I'll hand over Gianna," Vincent offered.Alessandra placed the old recorder on the table."Listen to this first."My voice played back, weak with pain. "And what if I really do die?"Then came Vincent's cold reply. "Stop using death to threaten me."The recording ended with the click of the lock. Silence filled the room.Vincent went pale."I thought she was threatening to die to make me cancel the ceremony."He swallowed. "I knew something was wrong. But if I helped her, your father would've taken back every route I controlled on th
