“He’s in this house.”

Zara stared at Valentina.

“Where?”

Valentina looked toward the far end of the greenhouse.

“Beneath it.”

Adrian’s expression hardened.

“What?”

“There is a room beneath the greenhouse.”

Zara’s stomach dropped.

“Another hidden room?”

Valentina nodded.

“Your family has too many secrets.”

Valentina gave a bitter smile.

“You have no idea.”

She walked toward the old stone floor and stopped beside a row of overgrown orchids.

Then she pushed aside a wooden planter.

  • The Silence Between Our Vows   Chapter 80: The Fifth Heir

    For a long moment, nobody moved.The young man stood at the entrance of the underground chamber, one hand resting loosely at his side.Daniel.Daniel Bellini.The fifth child.The child everyone had spent twenty-five years believing was dead.Zara stared at him.Then at the older Daniel standing only a few feet away.Then back at the young man.Her mind refused to accept what her eyes were showing her.“You’re lying,” the older Daniel whispered.The young man shook his head.“You know I’m not.”Daniel’s face crumpled.“I carried you.”“I know.”“I watched them take you.”“You watched them try.”Daniel stepped forward.“You were a baby.”“I remember nothing from that night.”“Then how can you know?”The young man’s expression softened.“Because someone kept the records.”He pointed toward the open file.“Someone made sure I knew exactly who I was.”Zara looked at the file.The birth record was still open.CHILD FIVE — MALE.STATUS: ALIVE.LOCATION: BELLINI ESTATE.Her eyes moved to the

  • The Silence Between Our Vows   Chapter 79: The Brother Who Disappeared

    Zara couldn’t take her eyes off the man standing at the bottom of the staircase.Vittorio Bellini.The name echoed inside her head.But there was already another Vittorio upstairs.Another man who had claimed to be the last surviving signatory.Another man who had spoken about the agreement as though he had written every rule himself.Adrian stood beside her, completely still.“How many of you are there?” he asked.The man smiled.“Only two.”Zara’s eyes narrowed.“Then who is the man upstairs?”“My brother.”The answer came without hesitation.“And why does he have your name?”“He doesn’t.”The man took another step.“He has been using mine for twenty-five years.”Leonardo moved in front of Zara.“Stay back.”Vittorio looked at him.“You always were loyal to the wrong people.”Leonardo’s jaw tightened.“I was loyal to the children.”“No.”Vittorio’s gaze shifted toward Zara.“You were loyal to her.”“And I don’t regret it.”Vittorio smiled.“That is why you were supposed to die.”Zar

    Zara forgot how to breathe.Matteo stood at the bottom of the staircase.Alive.Again.But this time, something was wrong.It wasn’t simply the shock of seeing him there.It was the way he was standing.The way he looked at her.There was no confusion in his eyes.No relief.No fear.Only recognition.Deep, unsettling recognition.“Matteo,” Zara whispered.He smiled.“Hello, Zara.”Isabella stumbled backward.“No.”Matteo’s eyes shifted toward her.“Hello, Isabella.”She shook her head violently.“You can’t be here.”“Why?”“Because you’re upstairs.”Everyone turned.Zara’s blood ran cold.She looked behind her.The real Matteo was still there.Standing near Sophia.Pale.Shaken.Frozen.Zara turned back toward the man below.Then back to Matteo.Then down again.The man at the bottom of the stairs smiled.“That,” he said quietly, “is exactly why you were never meant to know the truth.”Sophia grabbed Zara’s arm.“There are two of them.”“No,” Daniel whispered.His face had gone white

    Zara stared at the piece of paper in her hand.Leonardo.The name seemed to pulse beneath her fingers.For a moment, the entire vault disappeared.The blood on the floor.The broken black box.The abandoned wheelchair.The hidden passage.All of it faded behind one thought.Leonardo was dead.Or at least, that was what everyone had allowed her to believe.Adrian stepped beside her.“Zara.”She didn’t answer.He looked at the paper.His expression changed.“That’s your father’s name.”Zara’s eyes snapped toward him.“No.”Her voice was immediate.“No, it isn’t.”Adrian lowered his voice.“Zara…”“Leonardo was the man who raised me.”She looked toward Daniel.“Wasn’t he?”Daniel didn’t answer.That silence was worse than anything he could have said.Zara’s face tightened.“Daniel.”He slowly looked up.“I don’t know what you’re asking.”“You know exactly what I’m asking.”She held up the paper.“Leonardo. The man who raised me. The man who stopped the scarred stranger when I was five. T

    Zara couldn’t move.The words had been simple.Almost too simple.And yet they had managed to tear apart everything she thought she knew.Alessandro was never your father.She looked at Vittorio.Then at the woman standing across from her.Elena.Elena Bellini.The missing child.The fourth heir.The girl who had supposedly been born beside her twenty-five years ago.Her sister.Her face.Her voice.The fourth key.Everything about her should have made Zara feel closer to the truth.Instead, she felt more lost than ever.“You’re lying,” Zara whispered.Elena shook her head.“I wish I were.”Zara turned toward Isabella.“Mom.”Isabella couldn’t meet her eyes.That was enough.Zara’s heart sank.“You knew.”Isabella’s lips trembled.“I knew Alessandro wasn’t your father.”The room seemed to tilt.Adrian stepped closer.“Then who is?”Isabella looked at him.“I don’t know.”Zara stared at her.“You don’t know who my father is?”“I knew who they wanted you to believe was your father.”“Th

    Nobody breathed.For several seconds, the only sound inside the vault was the faint ticking of the mechanism hidden inside the wall.Zara stared at the narrow opening.The voice had disappeared, but its final words remained suspended in the air.You were not the only baby born that night.Her fingers tightened around the pendant at her neck.“No.”The word came out barely above a whisper.Isabella stood completely still.Her face had lost every trace of color.Sophia looked from her mother to Zara.“Mom?”Isabella didn’t answer.Amara stepped closer.“You knew.”It wasn’t a question.Isabella finally looked at her daughters.“I knew there was another child.”Zara’s heart seemed to stop.“You knew?”“I didn’t know where the child was.”“But you knew?”“Yes.”Zara took a step toward her.“Then why didn’t you tell me?”Isabella’s eyes filled with tears.“Because I was told the child was dead.”“By who?”Isabella looked at Vittorio.Everyone followed her gaze.Vittorio’s hands tightened a
