No Nurse Lasted a Week with the Ruthless Mafia Boss — Until the Poor Nurse Broke the Rules
Chapter 12
The old hospital was nothing but a construction site.
Most of the building had been demolished.
But beneath the foundation was an underground archive.
Mia inserted the key.
A steel door opened.
Inside were boxes.
Hundreds.
Adrian and Mia searched for hours.
Then they found one labeled:
CARTER / BELLINI — 1998
Mia opened it.
Inside was her father’s notebook.
She recognized the handwriting immediately.
The first pages contained medical reports.
Then payments.
Then names.
Her father had discovered that patients were being deliberately misdiagnosed to generate fraudulent claims.
He had confronted Adrian’s father.
The two men had worked together.
They had planned to expose the organization.
Then Gabriel found out.
Mia turned a page.
A sentence was underlined.
If anything happens to me, protect David Carter’s daughter.
Mia’s eyes filled with tears.
Adrian read the next page.
It contained his father’s final plan.
He had hidden evidence in the hospital vault.
But before he could retrieve it, Gabriel attacked.
Mia’s father helped him escape.
The official reports were falsified.
Then David spent years protecting the evidence.
Until the accident.
Mia covered her mouth.
“My father wasn’t killed because of the money.”
Adrian shook his head.
“He was killed because he kept the secret.”
A sound came from the corridor.
Lucian.
He entered slowly.
Adrian raised his gun.
“Why did you bring us here?”
Lucian looked at the documents.
“Because I’m tired.”
“Tired of what?”
“Running.”
Lucian explained.
After Gabriel’s death, he had discovered what the family had done.
He tried to leave.
They threatened him.
So he faked his death.
For years, he watched.
He had hired nurses.
Monitored Adrian.
Protected the evidence.
But he couldn’t expose the organization alone.
“I needed someone who could enter the medical system without raising suspicion.”
Mia understood.
“Me.”
Lucian nodded.
“Your father left the final key with you.”
Adrian stared at him.
“You could have told me.”
“I did.”
“When?”
“Every time I sent someone to watch you.”
Adrian’s expression hardened.
“You call that telling me?”
“No.”
Lucian looked down.
“I call it being afraid.”
Then footsteps echoed above.
Multiple people.
Lucian’s face changed.
“They found us.”
“Who?”
“The organization.”
Adrian looked at Mia.
“Take the files.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll hold them.”
“No.”
He stared at her.
“You’re giving me an order again.”
“Yes.”
A faint smile appeared.
Then the lights went out.
