Chapter 71: The Bianchi Tower

The Bianchi Tower rose above the city like a warning.For decades, people had known it as an abandoned corporate building. The windows were dark. The lower floors had been sealed. The company that once occupied it had disappeared after a financial scandal.But the building had never truly been abandoned.Dante knew that now.He stared through the windshield."That's where we're going."Isabella looked at him."You're not going alone.""I know.""You said the message told you to come alone.""Yes.""And you're still going?""Yes."She shook her head."Then I'm coming."Dante looked at her."I knew you would say that.""Good."Sofia climbed out of the other vehicle."We're coming too."Dante looked at her."No."She folded her arms."Try stopping me."Grace stepped beside her."Same."Dante sighed."This is exactly what I didn't want."Isabella smiled faintly."You married the wrong woman if you wanted peace.""That has become painfully obvious."Alessandro approached them."I'm coming.

Chapter 72: The Buried Truth

The first explosion came from beneath them.The floor shook so violently that Isabella lost her balance.Dante caught her before she fell."Keep moving."Another explosion thundered through the building.Dust poured from the ceiling.Clara looked back."The lower levels are collapsing.""How many exits?""Three.""Which one is closest?""None of them."Dante stared at her."That's not what I wanted to hear.""I know."They ran.Amelia stayed close to Grace while Sofia followed behind them.Celeste moved quickly despite the chaos.Adrian was nowhere to be seen.Neither was Marcus.Dante glanced over his shoulder."Where are they?"Celeste shook her head."Marcus knows the underground system better than anyone.""And Adrian?""He's unpredictable.""Great."They reached a junction.Three tunnels stretched ahead.Clara stopped."The left one leads to the parking garage.""What about the middle?""Main elevator.""And the right?"Clara hesitated.Dante noticed."What?""The right tunnel le

Chapter 73: The First Grave

Isabella read the name again.Margaret Moretti.Her grandmother.The woman everyone had told her was dead.For years, she had existed in Isabella's mind as a photograph in an old family album. A woman with kind eyes, a straight back, and a smile that never quite reached her eyes. Her mother had always spoken about her carefully, never with anger, never with affection.Just silence.Now that silence had a name.Margaret Moretti was alive.And she wanted to see her.Isabella closed the registry."Tomorrow."Dante looked at her."You don't have to go.""Yes, I do.""Isabella.""No."She shook her head."I spent my entire life believing my grandmother was dead. Then I find out she isn't. I'm not going to spend another night wondering why."Dante watched her."I'll go with you."She nodded."I know."Clara stepped closer."You shouldn't go."Isabella looked at her."Why?""Because she won't tell you everything.""Neither has anyone else."Clara sighed."That's different.""How?""Your gran

Chapter 74: The Mother They Lost

Nobody spoke.The room seemed to shrink around them.Isabella stared at Elena as if she were looking at a stranger.Her aunt.Not her mother.The word refused to settle in her mind.Dante looked equally stunned."You can't be serious."Elena's eyes filled with tears."I wish I weren't."Isabella shook her head."No."Her voice was barely audible."No, you don't get to say that.""Isabella...""Don't."She stepped backward."You've spent my entire life telling me you were my mother.""I raised you.""That isn't what I asked."Elena looked down."I know.""Did you give birth to me?""No."The answer landed harder than Isabella expected.She pressed a hand against her stomach.Dante looked at Elena."Then who did?"Margaret stepped forward."Your real mother was Elena's older sister."Dante frowned."Another Elena?""No."Margaret's expression softened."Her name was Maria."Isabella stared."Maria Moretti."Margaret nodded."She was my eldest daughter."Isabella's eyes widened."Then sh

Chapter 75: The Woman in the Photograph

Isabella could not move.The words remained suspended in the room.Your mother is waiting for you.For twenty-two years, Isabella had believed she knew the story of her mother's death.Maria Moretti had died when Isabella was three.That was what Elena had told her.That was what every family record said.That was what everyone had repeated until the lie became indistinguishable from memory.Now Margaret was telling her something else.Her mother was alive.Isabella looked at Matteo."Where is she?"Matteo's expression remained unreadable."Not here.""Then where?""You need to understand what happened first.""No."Her voice shook."I've spent my entire life being told half-truths. I'm done listening to explanations."She stepped closer."Where is my mother?"Matteo looked at Margaret.Margaret nodded."Tell her."Matteo sighed."Maria is in hiding.""From whom?""The council.""Why?""Because she knows what they did."Dante stepped forward."What exactly did they do?"Matteo looked

Chapter 76: The Price of Betrayal

For several seconds, nobody moved.Elena stood outside the back door with the registry pressed against her chest.Behind her, armed men surrounded the house.Isabella stared at her."Why?"Elena looked at her.There were tears in her eyes."I had to."Dante stepped toward the door."You've been lying to us for years.""I know.""You betrayed us.""I know.""Then give me the registry."Elena shook her head."I can't."Dante's voice hardened."Give it to me."One of the armed men raised his weapon.Elena turned."Lower it."The man obeyed.Dante noticed.That told him something.They weren't controlling her.She was controlling them."Who are you working for?" he asked.Elena looked at him."Your father."Dante froze.Alessandro stepped forward."Elena."She looked at him."I'm sorry.""You weren't supposed to do this.""I know.""Then why?"Elena looked at Isabella."Because I couldn't lose another child."Isabella frowned."Another?"Elena's expression broke."I had a son."Nobody spo

Chapter 77: The Missing Son

Dante stared at the message.I have your brother.The words seemed to burn into the screen.His first instinct was to call the number.He did.It rang once.Then disconnected.He called again.Nothing."Who is your brother?" Isabella asked.Dante didn't answer immediately.He looked at Alessandro.His father had gone completely still."Alessandro."The older man looked at him."Don't."Dante's voice became colder."Who is my brother?"Alessandro looked away."Dante.""No."Dante stepped closer."You've lied to me about everything. I'm done accepting silence."Maria moved toward them."Alessandro, tell him."He shook his head."Not here.""Then where?""Anywhere but here."Dante grabbed his father's arm."Who did they take?"Alessandro looked into his son's eyes."My firstborn."Dante froze."Your firstborn?"Alessandro nodded."He was born before you."Isabella stared at him."So he is my brother too?""Yes.""What's his name?"Alessandro hesitated."Lucian."Dante's expression change

Chapter 78: The Seventh Heir

Nobody spoke for several seconds.Clara stood against the wall, staring at Alessandro as though he had become a stranger.Dante couldn't take his eyes off her.His twin.The thought felt impossible.He had spent his entire life believing he was an only child. Even after discovering Lucian, even after learning about the six heirs, he had never imagined there was another person who shared his blood so completely.He looked at Clara again.She was crying silently."How old are you?" he asked."Twenty-seven."Dante swallowed."So am I."She nodded."Yes.""Same birthday?""Yes."The room went quiet again.Dante looked at Alessandro."You knew.""I knew there was another child.""That's not what I asked."Alessandro's shoulders dropped."Yes."Dante's jaw tightened."You knew she was alive.""Yes.""And you watched me grow up without her."Alessandro didn't answer.Dante stepped closer."How could you?""I thought I was protecting you.""You keep saying that.""I know.""Everyone keeps say

Chapter 79: The Family They Buried

Isabella stared at the woman standing before her.For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was looking at a stranger or at another version of herself.Same dark eyes.Same sharp cheekbones.Same expression when she was angry.The resemblance was unsettling."You said you're my sister."The woman nodded."Yes.""What's your name?""Amara."Isabella swallowed."Amara what?""Moretti."Another secret.Another name.Another person who had supposedly died.Isabella slowly stood."How old are you?""Twenty-six.""That's not possible.""It is.""Then you're not my twin.""No."Amara looked away."I was born a year after you."Isabella stared at her."Then why do you look like me?"Amara gave a sad smile."Because we're sisters.""That doesn't explain it.""No."She stepped closer."Our mother had a particular look.""Maria?""Yes."Isabella's heart tightened."You know her?""She raised me for a while.""Why didn't she raise me?"Amara's expression changed."Because she couldn't protect b

Chapter 80: The Last Secret

The family remained inside the chapel until sunrise.Nobody wanted to leave first.For once, there was no one chasing them.No footsteps outside.No gunfire.No threats delivered through hidden speakers.Only the quiet sound of breathing and the occasional movement of someone shifting in an old wooden chair.Isabella sat beside Maria.She kept looking at her mother.Not because she doubted her.Because she was still trying to understand what it meant to have her.Twenty-two years of questions could not disappear in one night.Maria seemed to understand."You can ask me anything."Isabella looked at her."Anything?""Anything.""Even if the answer is ugly?"Maria nodded."Especially then."Isabella took a slow breath."Why did you have me?"Maria smiled faintly."Because I loved your father."Alessandro looked toward them.Maria continued."Your father and I were young. We knew what the family expected from us, but we also believed we could escape it.""Could you?""For a while.""What
