Matteo's icy gaze swept across every guard in the hallway."No one leaves," he ordered, his voice carrying through the mansion with quiet authority. "Until I know who betrayed us."No one dared argue.The guards stood perfectly still, though I could see unease written across their faces. Some avoided Matteo's eyes. Others tightened their grip on their weapons.The silence became unbearable.Every person in the hallway suddenly looked like a suspect.Had one of them really helped the stranger?Or was the traitor hiding somewhere else in the mansion, watching us unravel?A radio crackled to life."Boss, we've secured the west wing."Another voice followed."The archives are sealed."Matteo didn't respond immediately.His sharp eyes continued moving from one guard to the next, studying every expression, every nervous glance, every subtle movement.He trusted very few people.Now it seemed he trusted no one.Heavy footsteps echoed from the far end of the corridor.Every weapon rose at onc

The clapping stopped.Silence swallowed the chamber again.No one moved.No one breathed.Every gun remained pointed toward the darkness.Matteo stood in front of me, his body slightly angled as if he could shield me from whatever was hiding beyond the pillars.His voice was ice-cold."Come out."A quiet laugh echoed through the chamber."Still giving orders, Matteo?"My heart pounded.The voice sounded strangely calm.Not afraid.Almost amused.A shadow moved behind one of the stone pillars.Then another.Luca tightened his grip on his weapon."Boss, there's movement on the left.""I see it."Matteo's eyes never left the darkness."Show yourself."Slow footsteps echoed through the vault.One.Two.Three.A figure slowly emerged from behind the pillar.He was dressed entirely in black, his face partially hidden beneath the hood of his coat.But it wasn't his clothes that caught my attention.It was the silver ring on his hand.A serpent wrapped around a black rose.The same symbol.My

The ground moved again.This time, harder.I stumbled.Matteo caught me before I could fall."Run."There was no hesitation in his voice.No explanation.Just one command."Where?" Luca shouted."Back through the passage!"The guards immediately began moving toward the staircase.Another violent tremor shook the chamber.One of the ancient pillars cracked.Stone fell from the ceiling.I looked back.The circular table was still glowing.The black box remained open.And beneath it...Something was moving.Not the table.Not the floor.Something underneath the vault.A deep metallic sound echoed through the chamber.Clank.Clank.Clank.Like something enormous was unlocking itself."Matteo!"He turned.I pointed toward the center of the room.His expression changed."I know."The stranger was still standing near the table.He wasn't running.He was staring at the floor with an expression I'd never seen before.Fear.Real fear."You need to leave," he whispered.Matteo grabbed his weapon

The room went completely still.Nobody spoke.The voice came again from the other side of the door."We need to talk about your mother."My fingers tightened around the Black Ledger.Matteo looked at Elena."You know him."Elena's expression hardened."Unfortunately."Another blow struck the door.The hinges groaned."We don't have much time," Elena whispered.Matteo stepped toward her."Then start talking."Elena looked at me."Your mother wasn't who you were told she was."My heart pounded."What does that mean?""She was born into the same bloodline that created the Black Rose."I stared at her."The symbol?"Elena nodded."The serpent and the black rose aren't just a family crest."She placed her hand on the ledger."They represent an organization that has existed for generations."Matteo's eyes narrowed."The Black Rose."Elena looked at him."You've heard of it?""My father mentioned it once.""And what did he tell you?""That it was destroyed."Elena gave a bitter smile."That

The pendant grew brighter.Golden light spilled across the ground.Elena immediately covered it with her hand."Don't let him see it.""It's already too late."Matteo's voice came from across the courtyard.I froze.He had heard us.His eyes remained fixed on the chapel."Come out."Elena shook her head."Stay behind me."I stared at Matteo.Something about him felt different.His expression was cold.His posture rigid.But his eyes...His eyes kept searching the darkness around us.Almost as if he was trying to find me."Matteo," I whispered.His head turned slightly.For one impossible second, our eyes met.And I saw it.Fear.A warning.Then it disappeared."Run," he mouthed.I blinked."What?"Elena grabbed my hand."Now."We ran around the back of the chapel.A gunshot cracked through the night.The bullet struck the stone wall beside us.I screamed."Keep moving!"Elena pulled me toward the trees.Behind us, footsteps followed.Fast.Too fast."Elena!""I know!"We pushed throug
