Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 162

“Marissa stepped in. She ran inside the building. She protected you. She brought you back. Your mother jumped out the window. Marissa was going to jump too. Giovanni stood and watched. The building collapsed, and she burned and died inside.” Father explained, looking away from me for a moment. “Sienna’s father died before that. Giovanni slit his throat, made Marissa watch. She tried to fight, but he had already caused too much damage at the time. He was already doing his best, and Marissa had lost the will to live, even for her daughter. She knew that if she lived, he would not stop. He would just keep chasing, he would keep fighting. She made her choice. And even if we wanted to help, we really did not have another option. We would not have been able to do so.”

Carter slowly exhaled. “So the story she knows… it’s been twisted.”

“More than twisted,” my father said grimly. “It’s been designed. Giovanni knew exactly what he was doing. He didn’t just raise her in secret, he weaponized her. Told her we were the enemy. If he told her that we watched her mother die, that we watched her burn alive and did nothing, then he would have fed her more lies than we know.”

My mind raced, memories snapping together like puzzle pieces. “She thinks we murdered her mother. She believes that you wanted her dead.”

“She thinks she’s here for revenge,” my father said quietly. “But she doesn’t realize she’s playing into the hands of the man who killed her mother. She’s fighting the wrong enemy.”

Ethan’s voice dropped. “Does Sienna know?”

“No,” father said. “Not yet. And she can’t. Not until we’re sure. Not until we know how far Giovanni’s plan goes. Not until we are sure that Delilah is willing to persuade, willing to listen. And I have a feeling that she’s not going to be. Not for a while.”

Giovanni didn’t just raise a secret daughter, he raised a weapon.

And that weapon was about to tear through everything.
