Chapter 6 - THE POISONER INSIDE THE FAMILY
The investigation into Paulie's death continued.
Gabriel's security team reviewed kitchen records.
Supply deliveries.
Employee access.
Financial transactions.
The breakthrough came from a surveillance recording.
A trusted capo named Marcus DeLuca had entered the kitchen shortly before Paulie's final meal.
He had no legitimate reason to be there.
Further investigation revealed suspicious payments connected to one of the kitchen employees.
Gabriel stared at the evidence.
Marcus had served him for twelve years.
He had attended family celebrations.
Protected Gabriel during an assassination attempt.
Called him brother.
Now the evidence suggested he had helped orchestrate the poisoning.
Leo looked at Gabriel.
“What do you want to do?”
Gabriel's jaw tightened.
The old Gabriel would have ordered immediate revenge.
But he remembered Norah.
He remembered Rosa.
He remembered the years of lies that had shaped his life.
“Preserve the evidence,” he said.
Leo blinked.
“Boss?”
“Give it to the investigators.”
Leo stared.
