Abandoned Mafia Heiress Rises as a BillionaireChapter 1 Get Lost
"You're free to go."
The guard's cold voice echoed through the cold, gray walls as he unlocked my cell. The metal door opened, and I stepped into the blinding light outside.
Finally! I was released from the cage that kept me trapped for two long years. I still remember how I took the fall for my stepbrother, Luca Bianchi and served two years in this brutal prison.
Meanwhile, he was busy building and expanding his empire and playing the dutiful family man.
"I had to save my family's reputation," I whispered under my breath.
After giving it a long thought, the first thing I did after my release was to call home. I was eager to surprise them as I imagined their relief, and their happiness to hear from me again, but the response was…silence.
"Uncle, I'm out."
Before I could say more, the line went dead. Richard, my paternal uncle, my father's only brother had hung up on me. It was so unlikely of him.
My throat tightened and my stomach churned. The next moment I hailed a cab and headed straight for home. My heart was accelerating at the highest speed as I hoped that everything would be alright there.
