Chapter 10 - THE PRICE OF THE MORETTI NAME
Carlo stood in the old ballroom.
Luca was tied to a chair.
Alessandro entered alone.
“Release him.”
Carlo smiled.
“You still think this is about the ledger.”
“What is it about?”
“You.”
Carlo walked closer.
“Your father chose you.”
“Everyone chose you.”
“The empire.”
“The name.”
“The future.”
Alessandro stared at him.
“You killed your brother because you were jealous.”
Carlo’s face twisted.
“I killed him because he was weak.”
“He wanted out.”
“He wanted to surrender.”
“No.”
Alessandro stepped closer.
“He wanted something you never understood.”
“What?”
“A son who wasn’t afraid of becoming his father.”
Carlo’s expression changed.
Alessandro continued.
“And you proved him right.”
Police surrounded the estate.
Carlo had nowhere to go.
He released Luca.
But before surrendering, he whispered something to Alessandro.
“You think this ends with me?”
Alessandro stared at him.
Carlo smiled.
“Ask Marco who ordered Sophia’s father killed.”
Alessandro turned.
