Chapter 14 - THE OTHER VINCENTI woke in a hospital.
Elena sat beside me.
Marcus was alive.
Adrian was gone.
The doctors said the bullet had passed cleanly.
But the real wound was the photograph.
I had a twin.
My mother finally confessed.
One child was raised as Vincent.
The other was given away.
Adrian had spent eighteen years searching for him.
Then we found him.
He was living under the name Daniel.
Daniel wasn't Tony's son.
He was my twin.
The entire war had been designed to put the two brothers against each other.
And the Black Ledger contained the original inheritance contract.
Only one twin could inherit.
The other had to die.
My father had engineered everything.
Adrian had tried to break the cycle.
But someone else had taken control.
My twin wasn't dead.
He was standing outside the hospital window.
He smiled.
Then he called me.
“You finally know the truth.”
I whispered:
“Daniel?”
“That's not my name.”
“What is?”
He answered:
“Vincent.”
I stared through the glass.
He continued:
May you like
“And you're the one who was supposed to die.”
The hospital lights went out.
