CHAPTER 10
The headlights outside the mansion multiplied.Jason stood beside his mother, staring through the broken windows.Marcus moved toward the entrance. "How many cars?""At least ten." Jason looked at him."Christian?"Marcus nodded. "Most likely."Jason turned toward his mother. "Why is Christian here?"His mother's eyes filled with fear. "Because he knows you're here.""How?"She looked at the black card in Jason's hand. "Because that card isn't just money."Jason frowned. "Then what is it?"Before she could answer, the front doors exploded inward.Marcus immediately pushed Jason and his mother behind the wall.Gunshots tore through the room."Stay down!"Jason pulled his mother closer. "Mom, what is happening?"She shook her head. "Your father knew this day would come.""Then he should have told me himself!" Jason said."He wanted to.""Then why didn't he?" He asked."Because he believed keeping you ignorant was the only way to keep you alive."Jason looked toward the study. The comput

The car moved through the darkness at full speed. Jason sat quietly in the back seat, staring at the photograph of his father.Marcus sat opposite him.For several minutes, neither man spoke.Finally, Jason broke the silence, "How far?""Twenty minutes."Jason looked at him, "You said the estate was destroyed.""It was.""Then why are we going there?" Jason asked. "Because if your father left something behind, that's where he would have hidden it."Jason looked down at the photograph, "Did you ever go there after he disappeared?""Once.""What did you find?" Jason asked."Nothing."Jason frowned, "Nothing?""The entire property had been burned.""Then why do you think something is still there?" Jason asked, confused.Marcus looked out the window, "Because your father never trusted banks."Jason gave a faint smile, "Apparently, neither do I anymore."Marcus looked at him, "There's something else you need to know.""What?""The Blackwell estate wasn't destroyed by an accident."Jason's
CHAPTER 8
Jason stood motionless in the darkness, "My father is alive..."He repeated the words quietly, as if saying them again would make them easier to believe.Marcus switched on a small flashlight, "Jason, we need to leave."Jason looked at him, "Not until you answer me.""I don't have the answer.""You said my father died." Jason demanded."That's what I believed.""You worked for him.""Yes." Marcus said with a nod of his head "Then how could you not know?"Marcus hesitated,"Because Richard Blackwell disappeared twenty-nine years ago."Jason's eyes narrowed,"I was six.""Exactly.""You mean everyone simply assumed he was dead?""Not everyone.""Who didn't?"Marcus looked away,"Your mother."Jason's expression hardened,"My mother knew?""She was the last person to see him."Jason stared at him,"Where?"Marcus shook his head,"I don't know."Jason grabbed his arm,"Then we're going to the hospital.""That's what they want.""Who?""The people controlling this game."Jason released him."My
CHAPTER 7
Jason stood frozen at the top of the hidden staircase.The voice came again from below. "Jason..."His heart began pounding. He knew that voice. Or at least, he thought he did."Father?"Marcus immediately grabbed his arm. "Don't go down there."Jason pulled his arm away. "That was my father's voice.""You never heard your father's voice.”Jason turned toward him "What?"Marcus stared at him. "You were six years old when Richard disappeared.""I remember him.""You remember what your mother told you about him." Jason said.Jason frowned. "I remember his face.""Do you?"Jason stared at Marcus. "What are you trying to say?"Marcus pointed toward the staircase. "Someone is using an old recording."Jason looked back into the darkness.His father's voice came again. "Jason, if you're hearing this, then they have finally found you."Jason's expression changed.Marcus stepped forward. "That's not possible."The voice continued. "Don't trust anyone."Jason's breathing became shallow. "Father
CHAPTER 6
Jason stared at the gun pointed directly at his chest. For several seconds, nobody moved.His eyes slowly shifted from the weapon to Marcus's face."Marcus..." His voice was low. "What are you doing?"Marcus remained silent.Jason took one cautious step backward. "You brought me here. You told me my mother would be saved. You told me I won one hundred billion dollars. And now you're pointing a gun at me?"Marcus's expression remained cold. "Put your hands where I can see them."Jason slowly raised both hands. "Why?""Just do it."Jason obeyed, his eyes remained fixed on Marcus. "Are you working for Christian?"Marcus's jaw tightened."No.""Then why are you holding a gun?"Marcus didn't answer.Jason's voice became louder. "Answer me!"Suddenly, a woman's voice came through the speakers. "Jason..."Jason froze.It was Davina again. "Don't trust Marcus."Jason turned toward the ceiling. "Davina?" Her voice continued. "He's lying to you."Marcus immediately looked toward the speakers. "
CHAPTER 5
The black vehicles raced through the rain.Jason sat in the back seat, gripping the strange black card tightly. His eyes remained fixed on Marcus."What did you mean when you said nobody told me about the second test?"Marcus sat opposite him. "Exactly what I said."Jason's voice became impatient. "Then explain it."Marcus remained silent.Jason leaned forward. "My mother has less than ten minutes.""Your mother will be fine.""You keep saying that." Jason snapped."Because it's true.""Then prove it." Jason said loudly. Marcus looked at the driver. "How much longer?""Four minutes." The driver replied. Jason frowned. "Four minutes until what?"Marcus looked back at him. "Until the hospital receives the money."Jason's eyes widened. "You already transferred it?""No.""Then what are you waiting for?" Jason asked."The authorization.""Authorization from who?" Jason asked again.Marcus didn't answer.Jason's patience disappeared."Listen, Marcus. I don't know who you people are, and
