The Billionaire I Left Behind Chapter 35
The chapel fell into complete silence.Even the armed men standing behind Lucien Devereaux did not move.Their discipline was unnerving.They weren't ordinary mercenaries.They stood perfectly still, waiting for a single command.Lucien looked around the chapel with quiet appreciation."What a remarkable place."His polished Italian carried the faint trace of a French accent."I've searched for this chapel for nearly twenty years."His eyes settled on Father Gabriel."And you hid it well."Father Gabriel didn't respond.Instead, he stepped protectively in front of Alessia and Elena.Lucien smiled."Still keeping promises.""I admire that."Lorenzo moved closer to Alessia.His hand brushed against hers.It was a silent promise.I'm here.She looked at him briefly.Despite the fear filling the room, his presence steadied her.Whatever happened next...They would face it together.Lucien slowly removed his gloves.He wasn't intimidating because he shouted.He wasn't frightening because h

For some seconds...No one spoke.The words echoed through the chapel like a bell that refused to stop ringing.Marco Rinaldi... was never Marco Rinaldi.Alessia felt as though the floor had disappeared beneath her."What...?"Her voice was barely audible."What do you mean?"Sister Maria carefully held the old photograph in both hands."The man you know as Marco Rinaldi has lived under that name for almost thirty years.""It isn't the name he was born with."Lorenzo stared at the photograph.His mind raced through countless memories.Marco teaching him how to negotiate.Marco attending every Moretti board meeting.Marco comforting him after his mother's funeral.Marco encouraging him to fight for the hotel.Every memory suddenly felt uncertain."Then..."Lorenzo swallowed hard."Who is he?"Sister Maria looked toward Father Gabriel."I think it's time."The old priest nodded solemnly."Tell them."Outside...Another explosion rattled the ancient chapel.Stone dust drifted from the ce

The silence inside the chapel was almost unbearable.No one spoke.No one moved.Everyone was staring at the woman sitting on the wooden bench.Elena Belladonna.The sister who had spent her entire life searching for an identity she never knew belonged to her.Now she was holding a faded leather journal in trembling hands.The final diary of Isabella Belladonna.Their mother.Slowly, Elena opened it again."I think..."She swallowed."I think I remember her."Alessia looked at her in disbelief."What?"Elena closed her eyes."I don't know if it's real.""Or if it's just because I've been reading this."Father Gabriel knelt beside her."Memory doesn't always return all at once.""Sometimes it arrives in pieces.""In feelings.""In sounds.""In smells."Elena nodded slowly."There was..."She frowned."A song."Everyone became still."A woman used to sing to me.""It was always raining.""And..."Her breathing became uneven."There was lavender."Alessia's eyes filled with tears."Our m

"Dad!"Alessia's voice tore through the underground corridor.She lunged toward the heavy iron door where the guards had dragged Antonio.Before she could reach it, Caterina stepped into her path."You don't want to do that."Alessia stopped only inches away from her.Her eyes burned with fury."You've taken twenty-eight years from me.""I'm not letting you steal another second."She shoved Caterina aside and grabbed the iron handle.It didn't move.Locked.She pulled harder.Nothing.Again.Nothing.Her breathing became ragged."Open it!"Caterina remained calm."I can't.""You expect me to believe that?""It's on a time lock.""I don't care!""It won't open for another twelve minutes."Alessia slammed both fists against the metal."Dad!"Silence.Then...A weak voice answered from the other side."Alessia..."The sound of his voice shattered every wall she had built around her heart.Tears streamed freely down her face."I'm here.""I'm here, Dad.""I found you."Behind the thick st

"Lorenzo!"Alessia's scream echoed through the underground chamber.Above her, the stone platform slammed shut with a deafening thud.Silence followed.Complete.Absolute.She looked up desperately.There wasn't even a crack in the ceiling.No light.No sound.Nothing.She was alone.Or so she thought.A slow clap echoed through the chamber.Once.Twice.Three times.Alessia turned.Caterina Belladonna remained seated in the carved wooden chair.She looked almost regal beneath the warm glow of dozens of antique chandeliers.The room was unlike the cold tunnels above.It resembled an old library.Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves covered every wall.Ancient paintings hung between them.A fire crackled in a marble fireplace.Fresh flowers rested on a polished oak table.It was beautiful.Too beautiful.Like a palace hidden beneath a prison.Caterina smiled."Welcome."Alessia's eyes hardened."You're insane."The older woman chuckled."I've been called worse."Alessia looked around, searchin

The name echoed through the silence.Caterina Belladonna.No one moved.Even the gentle sound of the lake seemed to disappear.Alessia looked from the island to Vittorio."You said... Belladonna."Vittorio nodded without taking his eyes off the woman standing on the dock."Yes.""But that's impossible.""Our family ended with Isabella.""No."His voice was quiet."That's what everyone was supposed to believe."The woman stood perfectly still.She wore a long black coat that moved gently in the wind.Dark sunglasses concealed her eyes despite the overcast morning.Her silver hair was tied neatly behind her head.She looked elegant.Refined.Almost royal.Nothing about her suggested violence.Yet dozens of armed guards waited silently behind her.Not one spoke.Not one moved without watching her first.Lorenzo lowered the binoculars."She's expecting us."Claudio cursed under his breath."This is a trap.""It always was."Daniel nodded."But if Antonio is really here...""...we can't le
