Trapped by Seven Mafia Wolves novel Chapter 119

The Call

Andrei’s POV

The birth certificate lies in the center of my desk, a single sheet of paper that managed to feel heavier than a loaded gun.

I’ve read it a dozen times.

The name printed under “Father” never changed.

It wasn’t his name.

It wasn’t our father’s name. Yet the DNA results had been crystal clear–Aurora was ours. Our father’s daughter.Our sister.Which meant this wasn’t a mistake. Someone had deliberately tried to erase her from our family.Not Mama.She never had the patience for something this quiet, this calculated. No–this was done by someone with power. Someone who could manipulate records. Someone with enough money to make lies official.My jaw clenches. My knuckles tighten on the paper.

“Questo non ha senso,” I curse under my breath.(“This makes no sense“)I slide the certificate aside before I crush it in my fist.

“Any updates?” I ask, knowing it’s Raphael without looking up.He tosses the file onto my desk, papers fanning out.

“My jaw tightens. “…

Aurora?”

“Yes,” He nods, seriously, worry showing in his eyes.

“Two separate sources confirmed it. One of Petrov’s men attempted to bribe one of our men to answer if ‘the little sister‘ really exists.

“Our men intercepted two of their men carrying this a few days after the incident.

“Aurora Vittoria RussoMy eyes widen as I clutch the paper tightly. How?How do they know her name? Her full name?“Bring in those men for questioning.

“Raphael takes a sharp intake of breath and shakes his head.

“They bit the pills on their bracelets. Foamed at the mouths and died almost instantly.

“I curse as I put my head in my hands.

“And if the Russians keep asking these questions? That made me pause mid–button. “Andrei. These aren’t the kind of questions they don’t ask unless they’re planning something. They’re sniffing around names, records. They want something.

“My eyes flicks briefly to the birth certificate still lying on my desk. “I’ll figure it out.

“Raphael looks back up at me from his papers. “You know how dangerous they are.

“I meet his gaze. “And we’re not any less.

“Still,” he says, leaning back in his chair, “it would be stupid to underestimate them. You’ve seen what they do to people who get in their way.

“I pull the last button of my coat through the loop and smile without humor. “Let’s hope they’ve seen what we do to people who get in ours.”
