The phone vibrated in Isabella’s hand, Valeria’s name flashing on the screen. Her stomach twisted. She answered, her heart already hammering against her ribs. “Mama? What is it? Are you okay?”

“Isabella.” Her mother’s voice was tight, thin with alarm. “There’s a man here. Malik. Malik Zacchaeus. He says Victor sent him. To… to protect me.”

Her breath hitched. Malik. Here. Now. She didn’t waste a second. “Put me on speaker, Mama. Now.”

  • TIED TO MY FATHER'S MURDERER   CHAPTER 58: Victor and Felix first real talk

    Victor stood beside the car, the cool evening air doing little to settle the tremor in his hands. The phone, an unfamiliar model Isabella had handed him moments ago, vibrated. “It’s him, Victor,” she had whispered, her eyes wide with an unspoken plea. Fifteen years. Fifteen years since he heard that voice. He pressed it to his ear, his heart hammering against his ribs.“Felix?” His voice was a raw croak, barely recognizable even to him.A beat of static, then a low chuckle. “Took you long enough, fratello.”The sound resonated deep inside him, a long-buried chord finally struck. Tears stung his eyes, hot and unexpected. “I… I thought you were dead, Felix. Daniel Re—”“I know what Daniel said, Victor,” he interrupted gently, his tone surprisingly devoid of malice. “I heard the stories. You shouldn’t blame yourself for believing him. He was convincing, our Daniel. Always was.”Victor’s breath hitched. “But… the blood, the confirmation, the funeral… I saw it all.”“And you accepted it, l

  • TIED TO MY FATHER'S MURDERER   CHAPTER 57: A New War

    Victor walked out of the visitor room, pulling the door shut behind him with a soft click. Isabella deserved her privacy, a moment with her father without his presence complicating things further. The corridor was quiet, long, and sterile, the fluorescent lights humming overhead. He leaned against the cool wall, staring at the polished linoleum floor, his thoughts a jumbled mess of apprehension and a strange, unfamiliar hope.Minutes stretched into what felt like an hour. His foot tapped a restless rhythm. Then, a shadow fell over him. He looked up. Malik stood there, his face unreadable, his dark eyes locked on his.“Victor,” he said, his voice a low rumble. It wasn't a greeting so much as a statement of fact.“Malik,” Victor replied, nodding. For decades, their encounters had been tense, fraught with unspoken threats. Now, something different hung between them – a shared exhaustion, maybe.He gestured down the hall. “Felix is tired. He needs rest after this.”“I can imagine,” Victor

  • TIED TO MY FATHER'S MURDERER   CHAPTER 56: The Hospital

    The sterile scent of antiseptic hit her first, a cold, sharp note that cut through the humid summer air as Dr. Petrovich led them down the gleaming hallway. Jason walked beside her, his hand a warm weight on her lower back, a silent anchor. They passed a glass-walled common room, and her breath hitched. There, through the clear pane, she was.Her mother, Valeria, sat in an overstuffed armchair, a cup of tea balanced in her hands. Her posture was relaxed, almost serene. And across from her, leaning forward slightly, was Malik Zacchaeous. The man who had haunted Isabella’s nightmares, the phantom limb of her father’s disappearance. But the fear that used to contort her mother’s features whenever his name was whispered was gone, replaced by an unsettling calm. There was no tension in the air, no silent battle of wills. It was just… a conversation.“Mom?” The word was barely a whisper as the doctor opened the door, ushering them inside.Valeria’s head snapped up, and a radiant smile broke

  • TIED TO MY FATHER'S MURDERER   CHAPTER 55: I’m Sorry

    The words felt thick, a foreign language in his mouth. Victor watched Isabella’s face as he spoke, trying to gauge if she found it as impossible as he did. “He… Malik said Felix. Your father. He’s alive.”Isabella stared, her lips slightly parted. The hum of the city outside felt miles away. “Alive? Victor, what are you talking about?” Her voice was a whisper, laced with an edge of disbelief and fear.“He said,” he started again, forcing himself to repeat Malik’s astonishing claim, “that fifteen years ago, when the attack happened, Malik ordered his own men to stop. Before they killed him. Felix was… gravely injured. Malik moved him. To a private rehabilitation facility. Outside Rome.” His eyes went to Daniel, who stood stiff and pale by the window. He hadn’t said a word since Victor finished speaking with Malik moments ago.Isabella shook her head, a slow, deliberate movement. “No. No, that’s not possible. I saw the news reports. Everyone said…”“Malik claims he was given a false ide

    The phone vibrated in Isabella’s hand, Valeria’s name flashing on the screen. Her stomach twisted. She answered, her heart already hammering against her ribs. “Mama? What is it? Are you okay?”“Isabella.” Her mother’s voice was tight, thin with alarm. “There’s a man here. Malik. Malik Zacchaeus. He says Victor sent him. To… to protect me.”Her breath hitched. Malik. Here. Now. She didn’t waste a second. “Put me on speaker, Mama. Now.”A soft click, then the faint echo of her voice confirming the speaker was on. Isabella looked at Kevin, his face already pale. Riven and Daniel Reese stood beside him, their expressions a mix of confusion and building dread.“Malik Zacchaeus?” Riven murmured, eyes widening.Kevin stepped forward, his jaw tight. “No. My father wouldn’t. He promised Felix. He’d never… never harm Valeria.” He looked at Isabella, a desperate plea in his eyes. “He promised. This isn't him. Not like this.”“He might not have intended harm, Kevin,” Isabella countered, her voice

    Isabella watched the stranger, trying to make sense of the wild claim he had just made. He took a hesitant step closer, his eyes pleading for understanding.“My name is Daniel Reese,” he said, his voice raw. “I was Felix Hart’s oldest friend. And his greatest betrayal.”Her breath hitched. The words felt like sandpaper on her throat, scratching at something she didn't even know existed. “What are you talking about?” she managed, her voice barely a whisper.He wrung his hands, his gaze dropping to the floor. “Felix and I grew up together. Joined the Sable Communion as teenagers. Fought side-by-side for decades. We were brothers, Isabella. Closer than blood.” He paused, looking up, and for a fleeting second, she saw a ghostly resemblance to her father in the shape of his jaw, the set of his troubled eyes. It made her stomach churn.“Felix,” he continued, “he always believed people could change. He saw a path to peace, even with Malik, with the Zacchaeous family. He’d talk about it every

    Isabella turned around at the sound of her phone ringing. She could feel it being handed to her, but she didn't care; it had to be Delaney. She picked the call immediately.“Hello,” she said sleepily, her eyes still closed.“Sister, did you remember the textbook I told you about last week? Today is
