Chapter 9 - The Enemy WithinThe next morning, Dominic brought me disturbing news.

Someone inside my organization had leaked Leo's medical records.

That meant the attack at the mansion hadn't been based on rumor.

Someone had given the Moretti family information.

Someone close to me.

I ordered a complete investigation.

Everyone became a suspect.

Security personnel.

Doctors.

Employees.

Even people who had served my family for years.

Hannah noticed the tension.

“You don't trust anyone.”

“Not anymore.”

She touched my hand.

“You trust me.”

I looked at her.

“With my life.”

She smiled.

“Then start there.”

Her words gave me an idea.

We didn't need to find the traitor by interrogating everyone.

We needed to make the traitor reveal himself.

So I planted false information.

Three different versions.

Three different escape routes.

And waited.

Within forty-eight hours, one route was attacked.

We had our answer.

The traitor was someone I had known for twelve years.

My own chief financial adviser.

He had been selling information to the Moretti family.

And he had one final secret.

The Morettis weren't planning to kill Leo.

They wanted to kidnap him.

Because whoever controlled the Rossi heir could control the future of my empire.
