All Chapters of Sent to Turin: The Bellandi Betrayal: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Matteo Bellandi and the others were still in the wine cellar downstairs.Nina Bellandi sat in the middle of the sofa with the four of them gathered around her.I walked over and set my phone down in front of them. The screen was stopped on one line: [Four fake transfer orders, and she didn't even check.]Matteo's expression froze. "You saw it?""I did."He leaned lazily back into the sofa. "Well, since you know, there's no point in hiding it from you anymore."Nina's only been home for six months. She doesn't know a thing about the family yet, and the situation in Turin is complicated. She'd only cause trouble there."He looked at me. "You're different. You were maintaining headquarters' systems on your own at sixteen. You can take care of yourself anywhere."At that, Nina's eyes immediately turned red.I pointed at the chat log. "So when you said you'd make our engagement public, that was a lie too?"Matteo's Adam's apple bobbed. "No, that part was real. You told me that if

The moment I stepped through the door, a group of people blocked my way. They were all young members Nina had been keeping around lately.The man leading them glanced at the equipment in my hands. "Well, if it isn't Camilla. I heard you're being shipped off to Turin. What are you back here to grab?"Another man beside him draped his hand over my shoulder and sneered, "How else is she supposed to prove to people she almost became Matteo's wife?"I gripped his hand. "Let go.""Quite the temper." He deliberately raised his voice. "You really think you're the princess of the family? Too bad the real princess is back."Everyone can see who Matteo and the boys have picked."The crowd around us kept growing. Matteo and the other three were right at the other end of the hallway.Cesare was carrying documents for Nina. Elio was teaching her how to read internal files. And Adriano Caruso was holding her gun case.Matteo saw me too.He stood where he was and said nothing.A few years ag

When he read the message on the screen, the smile vanished from Matteo's face.Cesare pulled out his phone. "What's this supposed to mean?"He opened the internal personnel system and typed "Camilla Vieri" into the search bar. No results.He checked the core technology department next. The director's slot, which had always sat at the top of the list, was now blank.Elio's expression changed, and he went straight to the terminal beside the banquet hall. "Top administrator list."The page loaded: three senior administrators and two accounts authorized by the Council of Elders. I was the only one missing.Adriano frowned. "She's going to Turin on assignment. Why would she cancel her family identity?"Matteo immediately dialed my number.It didn't connect.He tried a second time. Still nothing.On the third try, a recorded voice came straight on the line."The number you have dialed cannot be reached."He immediately opened his private messages, but my profile picture was alrea

More than a dozen people from the tech department were crowded around the servers as red alerts popped up one after another.There had been an anomalous login on the port funding lines, surveillance had cut out at two branch warehouses, and the risk system still couldn't finish updating.Matteo stood in the middle of the server room. "How long until it's back up?"The tech manager's forehead was covered in sweat. "Twelve hours at the very least.""How long did it take before?"No one answered. Nobody wanted to talk themselves out of a job.Matteo asked again. "When Camilla was here, how long did it take to fix a problem this size?"The director pressed his lips together. "Ten minutes to half an hour."The room went silent in an instant.Adriano kicked a table leg in frustration. "There are a dozen people here, but you guys can't match one of her?"The tech director didn't dare make a sound, but Elio suddenly spoke up. "She was maintaining the headquarters system at sixteen. W
