Chapter 8

Author: Chelsea
The car didn't take me to an ordinary residence. Instead, it drove straight into the Moretti headquarters on the north side of the city.

After we passed through three security checkpoints, the driver opened the car door for me. "We're here."

I looked up. In front of me stood a black building.

More than a dozen technicians were already waiting in the conference room, and the table was covered with files.

At the head of the table sat a man of about fifty.

I recognized him.

    The car didn't take me to an ordinary residence. Instead, it drove straight into the Moretti headquarters on the north side of the city.After we passed through three security checkpoints, the driver opened the car door for me. "We're here."I looked up. In front of me stood a black building.More than a dozen technicians were already waiting in the conference room, and the table was covered with files.At the head of the table sat a man of about fifty.I recognized him.Don Lorenzo Moretti, the current head of the Moretti family.Two years ago, he'd been the one to extend me an invitation for the first time.I walked in. "Don Lorenzo."Lorenzo raised a hand. "Sit."He slid a black access card straight across the table to me. "Full access to the Northern Network Center."Everyone in the conference room exchanged looks.Clearly, none of them had expected someone who'd only just joined to be handed top-level authorization outright.Lorenzo went on, "Over the past three month

  • Sent to Turin: The Bellandi Betrayal   Chapter 7

    More than a dozen people from the tech department were crowded around the servers as red alerts popped up one after another.There had been an anomalous login on the port funding lines, surveillance had cut out at two branch warehouses, and the risk system still couldn't finish updating.Matteo stood in the middle of the server room. "How long until it's back up?"The tech manager's forehead was covered in sweat. "Twelve hours at the very least.""How long did it take before?"No one answered. Nobody wanted to talk themselves out of a job.Matteo asked again. "When Camilla was here, how long did it take to fix a problem this size?"The director pressed his lips together. "Ten minutes to half an hour."The room went silent in an instant.Adriano kicked a table leg in frustration. "There are a dozen people here, but you guys can't match one of her?"The tech director didn't dare make a sound, but Elio suddenly spoke up. "She was maintaining the headquarters system at sixteen. W

    Matteo slapped his ID down on the counter. "Look up Camilla Vieri's flight."The staff member looked over the ID, polite as ever. "I'm sorry, sir. You don't have clearance for that.""I'm Matteo Bellandi.""I'm aware.""She used to be part of the Bellandi family."The staff member looked up. "Used to be."Those three words made Matteo's face go completely dark."So she's one of Moretti's people now?""Ms. Vieri's specific travel details are classified.""I want to know where she went.""I'm sorry. I can't give you that information."Cesare stepped forward. "We're not asking where she's working. Just confirm whether she went to Turin.""I can't give you that information."Adriano lost his patience. "We've known her for eighteen years."The staff member glanced at them. "That has nothing to do with clearance."Matteo held back his temper. "I'm her fiancé."The staff member searched the system for a few seconds, then looked up. "Ms. Vieri doesn't have a registered engageme

    When he read the message on the screen, the smile vanished from Matteo's face.Cesare pulled out his phone. "What's this supposed to mean?"He opened the internal personnel system and typed "Camilla Vieri" into the search bar. No results.He checked the core technology department next. The director's slot, which had always sat at the top of the list, was now blank.Elio's expression changed, and he went straight to the terminal beside the banquet hall. "Top administrator list."The page loaded: three senior administrators and two accounts authorized by the Council of Elders. I was the only one missing.Adriano frowned. "She's going to Turin on assignment. Why would she cancel her family identity?"Matteo immediately dialed my number.It didn't connect.He tried a second time. Still nothing.On the third try, a recorded voice came straight on the line."The number you have dialed cannot be reached."He immediately opened his private messages, but my profile picture was alrea

    The driver was a kindly-looking older man. He loaded my luggage into the trunk."Camilla, from now on, we're family. We rise and fall together."Welcome to the Moretti family."I smiled back and shook his hand.The group chat hadn't gone quiet since last night.Nina's official welcome banquet was tonight.Cesare posted a photo of the banquet hall.Cesare: [Camilla, something's wrong with the lighting controls. Come fix it.]Elio replied below it.Elio: [She's still sulking. Forget about her.]Then Adriano posted a photo of the head table. Nina was sitting to the right of Matteo.That was the seat I'd sat in for six years.Adriano: [Nina's a much better fit for that seat.]I didn't reply. Another notification popped up on my phone.Nina had changed the group's profile picture.In the old photo, I'd been standing at Matteo's side. Now Nina was standing in my spot.Nina: [Just kidding. Camilla won't mind, will she?]Cesare: [Nothing to mind. Worst case, she can change it

    The moment I stepped through the door, a group of people blocked my way. They were all young members Nina had been keeping around lately.The man leading them glanced at the equipment in my hands. "Well, if it isn't Camilla. I heard you're being shipped off to Turin. What are you back here to grab?"Another man beside him draped his hand over my shoulder and sneered, "How else is she supposed to prove to people she almost became Matteo's wife?"I gripped his hand. "Let go.""Quite the temper." He deliberately raised his voice. "You really think you're the princess of the family? Too bad the real princess is back."Everyone can see who Matteo and the boys have picked."The crowd around us kept growing. Matteo and the other three were right at the other end of the hallway.Cesare was carrying documents for Nina. Elio was teaching her how to read internal files. And Adriano Caruso was holding her gun case.Matteo saw me too.He stood where he was and said nothing.A few years ag
