Chapter 5 - Chloe Finds Her Mother’s Key
Chloe returned to her apartment with police coordination and security
nearby.
Nothing looked disturbed.
Then she checked the ceramic sugar bowl her mother had given her.
Inside was a brass key.
Chloe had seen it a hundred times.
She thought it belonged to an old storage locker.
A number was stamped into it.
317.
Dominic recognized the numbering style from a private storage facility
Moretti Shipping had used years earlier.
They did not break in.
Chloe was the legal renter.
Elaine had transferred the unit into Chloe’s name before entering the
hospital.
Inside locker 317 were three boxes.
Tax returns.
Photographs.
Hospital paperwork.
And one red leather ledger.
Dominic did not touch it.
Chloe opened it.
The pages contained payments from Moretti companies to shell vendors.
Millions of dollars.
Some entries carried Antonio Moretti’s initials.
Others carried initials Chloe did not recognize.
V.R.
Dominic did.
Victor Rinaldi.

And Dominic’s godfather.
