Chapter 16 - Audrey Wakes Up And Demands To Face Brenda Directly
At nine o'clock Sunday morning, sunlight streamed through the high windows of Audrey’s private VIP hospital room at Mount Sinai.
Audrey sat up against a stack of white pillows, holding a warm cup of herbal tea while Rocco stood guard beside the door.
“I want to go down to the holding facility, Rocco,” Audrey said calmly, her voice steady and resolute despite her pale complexion.
“Audrey, you just survived a violent attack less than twelve hours ago. You need to rest,” Rocco protested immediately, shaking his head.
“If I stay in this bed hiding, Brenda wins,” Audrey insisted, swinging her legs over the edge of the mattress with quiet determination.
“I built the structural foundations of this family’s empire alongside Claire, and I am not afraid of a desperate woman in a holding cell,” she added.
Rocco stared at her for a long moment, recognizing the fierce, unyielding Moretti spirit that had earned Audrey the family's deep respect.

“Alright. But I’m walking right beside you every single step of the way,” Rocco relented, stepping forward to offer his arm for support.
Within forty minutes, their armored transport arrived back at the Long Island estate’s secure subterranean holding facility.
