All Story drama THE MAFIA BOSS WATCHED HER GET FIRED FOR SAVING HIS AUTISTIC DAUGHTER
THE HEIR OF BROOKLYN / Chapter 15 / 20

Chapter 15 - THE COUNTER-PLAYDante slammed his fist onto the table, standing up in a fury. "This is absurd! She's a puppet controlled by Antonio! Besides, I have proof that Antonio has been leaking corporate intelligence to the FBI to bring down this entire council!"

Dante threw a folder of financial documents onto the table, trying to turn the other bosses against us. The room erupted into angry shouts as several capos reached for their coats.

I didn't flinch. I pulled a sleek USB drive from my pocket and handed it to the council chairman, Don Carmine. "Play file four."

Carmine plugged the drive into the room's projection system. A crisp audio recording filled the room—it was Dante’s voice, clearly negotiating a deal with a senior FBI agent six months ago, offering to frame the other four families in exchange for immunity and sole control of the Brooklyn docks.

MY HUSBAND LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND SAID, “EVERY DOLLAR I EARN GOES TO MY MOTHER. YOU CAN PAY YOUR OWN EXPENSES.” HIS MOTHER GRINNED, CERTAIN SHE HAD WON. BY NIGHTFALL, HIS CARDS WERE DECLINED, HIS $8,000 NECKLACE WAS ALREADY PAID FOR, AND HE WAS BEGGING FOR HELP. THEN DIANE THREATENED TO THROW ME OUT OF MY OWN HOME. I SMILED—BECAUSE THEY HAD JUST GIVEN ME THE PERFECT REASON TO REVEAL WHO REALLY HELD THE POWER IN THAT HOUSE.

Dante’s face turned ghastly white. "That's... that's a fake! A digital fabrication!"

"You forgot one thing, uncle," I said, stepping closer to him. "My mother taught me that snakes always leave a trail in the grass. You didn't just betray the Russos. You betrayed everyone in this room."

Then my father’s attorney approached the coffin with a sealed black envelope—and my husband’s confident smile suddenly disappeared. WHAT HAD MY FATHER LEFT BEHIND THAT COULD DESTROY HIS PLANS?
