BLOOD DEBT
My hands were cold, and I stared at the screen again.
“It is not his empire,” I said. "This is his bloodline."
Footsteps resounded outside the room.
The door opened.
Dino stood with an unreadable expression.
"You found something," he said.
I swung around and looked at him a-throbbing.
"Yes," I replied.
His eyes sharpened. "What did you find, Drina?"
I turned back and looked at the screen, and then at the man whose name had plagued all corners of my life.
"A ghost," I said. "And it belongs to your family."
