POOR MAID TOOK THREE BULLETS FOR A MAFIA BOSS’S LITTLE BOY — THEN HE PUT HIS RING ON HER BEFORE THE TRAITOR COULD STRIKE AGAIN
CHAPTER 2: The Traitor Inside The Mansion
The hospital corridor fell silent after Vincent's threat.
Nobody doubted he meant it.
For six hours he remained outside Lily's room.
He did not eat.
He did not sleep.
He did not take a single business call.
The nurses whispered about the terrifying man who sat motionless beside a maid's hospital bed, refusing to leave.
Then Marco arrived.
His face was grim.
"We found something."
Vincent slowly lifted his eyes.
"The attack wasn't random."
"I know."
Marco hesitated.
"The assassins never breached the outer security system."
That got Vincent's attention.
"What are you saying?"
"They were let in."
The air seemed to freeze.
Someone inside the Moretti estate had helped them.
Someone Vincent trusted.
Marco placed a tablet on the table.
Security footage played.
A shadowy figure disabling cameras.
Opening a service gate.
Sending encrypted messages.
Then the figure stepped beneath a light.
Vincent's expression hardened.
Antonio Russo.
His chief financial officer.
His friend of fifteen years.
The man who had attended Matteo's birthday parties.
The man who sat at Vincent's wedding.
The man who helped carry Isabella's coffin.
Antonio had sold them out.
Marco swallowed.
"It gets worse."
Vincent's voice dropped dangerously low.
"Worse than trying to murder my son?"
"The hit wasn't meant to kill you."
Silence.
"The order specifically named Matteo."
For the first time in years, genuine rage flashed across Vincent's face.
The attack had never been about business.
Someone wanted his child dead.
And Antonio had helped make it happen.
At that exact moment, a weak voice came from the hospital bed.
"Matteo..."
Vincent turned instantly.
Lily's eyes were open.
Barely.
But alive.
And before the doctors could stop her, she whispered the one thing that changed everything.
"The woman in the red bracelet..."
Vincent froze.
"What woman?"
Lily swallowed painfully.
"She was inside the house... before the shooting started."
A woman.
May you like
Not Antonio.
Which meant the real mastermind was still free.
