Chapter 7: The Island Revelation
Jacob arrived on the remote island, his heart racing with anticipation. He had finally tracked down his uncle Marco, and he was determined to get some answers.
As he approached the luxurious villa, he heard the sound of gentle music and laughter. He entered the villa, and his eyes widened in surprise. Marco was lounging in a lavish bathtub, sipping wine and dining on a sumptuous feast.
"Ah, Jacob! Welcome, my nephew!" Marco exclaimed, his voice booming across the room. "I've been expecting you. Come, join me for dinner."
Jacob's eyes narrowed, but he accepted the invitation. Marco prepared a delicious meal, and they sat down to eat.
"So, Marco, I know about Rat Inc.," Jacob said, his voice firm. "I know it was a front for your illegal activities."
Marco chuckled. "Ah, yes. Your father and I started Rat Inc. as a secret face for our... ventures. We wanted to keep it hidden from the world."
"Why?" Jacob asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Your father didn't want targets on his family's heads," Marco replied. "He wanted to protect you and your sister."
Jacob's heart skipped a beat. "My sister?"
Marco's expression turned serious. "Jacob, I didn't want to tell you this, but... your sister is alive!"
