Chapter 1: The Little Girl Who Heard Too Much
That winter night, Lucas had told Isabella the truth.
He told her about the empire.
The money.
The corruption.
The enemies.
The blood that stained the Moretti name long before he was born.
Isabella listened without interrupting.
When he finished, she simply took his hand.
“Then leave it all behind.”
Lucas looked at her in disbelief.
“It isn't that easy.”
She smiled sadly.
“Nothing worth saving ever is.”
For the first time in his life, Lucas wanted out.
He began selling properties, cutting ties with dangerous associates, and quietly moving money into legitimate businesses.
But someone inside his own circle noticed.
Someone who stood beside him every day.
Victor Romano.
His oldest friend.
His most trusted advisor.
Victor had no intention of letting billions disappear.
Three months later, tragedy struck.
A fire consumed the family vacation house in Connecticut.
Authorities ruled it an accident.
Isabella and little Daniel were both declared dead.
Lucas arrived too late.
He screamed until his voice disappeared.
From that day on, he became a different man.
Cold.
Silent.
Untouchable.
But he never knew one terrifying truth.
The fire was never an accident.
And Victor himself had ordered it.
Now, years later, as Lucas sat in his mansion staring at Lily Carter, something inside him began to awaken again.
Because for the first time since losing his family…

Someone had saved him.
And that someone was a little girl who could barely breathe herself.
Say "suggestion"
