All Chapters of They Called Me the Family Outcast, I Sent Them to Trial: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

After I died, my phone kept ringing.It was my father, Victor Moretti.He kept calling, desperate to know if I'd made it onto the evacuation convoy.Worried that he might find out what really happened, Matteo and the others finally picked up.They lied and told him I'd been shot during the evacuation and urgently needed a blood transfusion from a relative with the same blood type."The FBI might already be watching this place. Don't bring anyone. Come to the old warehouse alone."Afraid I would die before he got there, my father rushed over without even alerting his guards.Matteo had already sealed every exit and hidden gunmen inside the warehouse.The moment my father stepped through the door, gunfire erupted from every direction.Dozens of bullets tore into his body.He collapsed beside my body, still calling my name.What was left of my soul lunged at Matteo, desperate to tear him apart with my own hands.But my hands passed through him again and again. I couldn't do a thing.Matte

My father noticed that I was trembling all over and took me straight to his study.I told him everything: how Viola had pretended to be the Chairman's daughter and convinced everyone to cancel their registration appointments.He immediately had someone pull her file.Viola was not the Chairman's daughter.Her father, Tony Romano, was just a records clerk in the Commission's archives department.He had access to the Commission building and a department vehicle, but he had no authority to change the evacuation list.My father was so furious that he called Security on the spot."I'll have them brought in right now.""Not yet. Send out one final registration notice first."I placed my hand over his.The Commission had already made the rules perfectly clear.Viola could lie to people, but she couldn't cancel a single appointment for them.They knew there was an official registration process, yet they chose to skip it.My father was silent for a moment. Then he ordered Security to keep an ey

The chamber went dead silent.A few seconds passed before someone stammered, "Only her? Aren't we on the priority list?"Don Bellini pulled up the system records and projected the sealed list onto the wall.They searched through every page. Not one of them found their name."That's impossible!""Viola said she had everything arranged!"Someone called the church immediately.The voice on the other end gave a single answer. "The list is sealed. No additions."The people who had been celebrating minutes ago started to panic."Then what do we do?""The FBI knows about the old base! Without the Family's protection, they'll come for us in no time!"Every head turned to Viola at once."Didn't you say your father added us to the list?""Then open the list! Now!"Viola took a step back, her eyes filling with tears right on cue."I don't know what happened. Daddy promised me..."Suddenly, she pointed at me."It has to be Elena!""She knew how important registration was, but she only cared about

Someone immediately looked up the license plate of the car outside."The car really is registered to the Commission!""And he's got a Commission badge!"That was enough to convince them that Tony really was the Chairman.No one bothered to read the job title on his badge. No one questioned why the real Chairman would show up in a car assigned to the archives department.After hearing so much praise, Tony forgot his fear. He even made a bold promise in front of everyone."I'll have the list reopened right away."Just wait. You'll all be leaving on the priority convoy."When someone asked about the assembly point, Tony mumbled that the location was classified for now.No one bothered to question such an obvious lie.Matteo immediately started sucking up to him."Chairman, Elena has been questioning you this whole time. Someone like her doesn't deserve the Commission's protection."Viola clung to Tony's arm and whined."Daddy, revoke her status. Unless she gets on her knees and begs me."

The livestream quickly reached all Five Families.Matteo had the ammunition crates pushed in front of the camera.Viola hid behind him, crying as she stared into the camera."Elena knew we were being lied to all along, and she kept quiet on purpose!"She used her status as the Chairman's daughter to sit back and watch all of us lose our protection!"If she had just helped us from the start, we never would have ended up here!"People who didn't know the truth began to question whether the Commission was letting me use my position for revenge.I could have left them to their fate, but I couldn't let them twist the truth.More importantly, the flare in Matteo's hand was less than seven feet from the ammunition crates.If the crates went off, everyone still at the old base handling the evacuation could be caught in the blast.My father was ready to send the strike team in by force.I stopped him.The crates were directly behind the main doors. If we stormed the armory from the front, Matte
