Chapter 77 — The Second Envelope
"Jonathan has the envelope?"Daniel repeated the question as if he had not heard his father correctly."Yes," his father answered weakly."How did it get to him?""Your mother gave it to him before she disappeared. She told him to keep it safe until the right time."Daniel stood beside the office window, staring at the city outside. "And you knew about this all along?""I knew she had left something with Jonathan. I didn't know exactly what was inside.""Why didn't you tell me?"His father sighed. "Because I didn't want you to start searching for it before you understood what you were dealing with."Daniel shook his head. "Everyone keeps making decisions about what I should know. I spent seven years in prison because people hid the truth from me. I won't allow that to happen again.""I'm sorry, Daniel.""Does Jonathan know what is inside?""I believe he does.""Then why hasn't he given it to me?""I don't know. Perhaps your mother instructed him to wait."Daniel ended the call. David,
Chapter 76 — The Missing Key
Daniel stared at Aunt Margaret. "You're saying my father had the original key?"Margaret nodded slowly. "Yes. Your mother gave it to him before she disappeared.""Why didn't he tell me?""I don't know, Daniel.""Did he know what the key opened?"Margaret hesitated. "I believe he did."Daniel walked away from the table and looked towards the window. Everything was becoming more confusing. His father had known about the old family library. He had received the original key from Elizabeth. He had also kept quiet about the box containing her belongings. Now someone had stolen the second key."David," Daniel called."Yes, sir?""Call the house. I want to speak with my father."David immediately took out his phone. Margaret approached Daniel. "Please don't jump to conclusions. Your father may have had a good reason for keeping quiet."Daniel turned towards her. "Then he should have told me the truth."Margaret lowered her eyes. "I understand."Daniel picked up his phone and called his father
Chapter 75 — The Man in the Photograph
Daniel ended the call and turned towards David. "We're going to Aunt Margaret's house."David nodded. "Should I arrange additional security?""Yes. And tell the team to keep an eye on the hospital. I don't want anyone getting close to Jonathan without permission."David made a quick call while Daniel walked towards the car. His mind was already racing. Edward Carter had appeared in several records connected to his imprisonment. Now Aunt Margaret claimed she had a photograph of him standing beside the man who sent Daniel to prison. But who was that man?Daniel had spent years wondering who had arranged the false evidence that destroyed his life. He had suspected Victor Hale, Marcus Vale and several others. Yet every time he came close to an answer, another name appeared. This time, he wanted something more than a name. He wanted proof.Aunt Margaret lived in an old but well-maintained house on the outskirts of the city. When Daniel and David arrived, two security officers were already
Chapter 74 — The Warning
"Doctor!"Daniel stepped away from the bed as two medical workers rushed into the room. One of them checked Jonathan's pulse while the other adjusted the monitor."Please step outside, sir," the doctor ordered.Daniel did not move immediately. Jonathan's eyes were closed. His hand had fallen beside the bed, and the monitor continued making sharp sounds."Is he going to be alright?" Daniel asked."We need space to attend to him."Daniel reluctantly stepped into the corridor. David was waiting outside."What happened?"Daniel looked towards the closed door. "Jonathan collapsed."David frowned. "Did he tell you anything?"Daniel remained silent for a moment. Then he spoke. "He said my mother disappeared because she discovered something about me."David stared at him. "About you?""Yes.""What exactly did he mean?""Before I could ask, he told me that one of the people involved was still inside my family."David looked troubled. "Did he identify the person?""No. He told me not to trust t
Chapter 73 — The Photograph
Daniel could hardly believe what he was seeing. The photograph showed his mother standing outside Ashford House. She looked older than he remembered, but there was no doubt about her identity. It was Elizabeth Carter. The date printed beneath the picture was only three months old.Daniel enlarged the image, examining every detail. Her hair was shorter. She wore a dark jacket and carried a small handbag. She appeared to be looking towards someone outside the frame. For seven years, Daniel had believed his mother was either dead or being held somewhere against her will. Now he had proof that someone had seen her recently.He turned towards Samuel. "Is this my mother?"Samuel stared at the photograph. His face had lost its colour. "Where did you get this?""Someone left it in my father's room."Samuel looked away. Daniel grabbed his arm. "Answer me!""I can't be certain.""You worked with her. You saw her before she disappeared. Are you telling me you cannot recognise her?"Samuel swallo
Chapter 72 — The Night She Disappeared
Daniel read Samuel's message again.I know what happened to your mother on the night she disappeared.For seven years, he had waited to hear those words. He had searched through old documents, questioned people who once worked for his family, and followed countless clues. Every time he thought he was close to the truth, someone appeared to push him backwards. Now Samuel was claiming to know what happened.Daniel immediately called him again. The phone rang several times before Samuel answered."Where are you?" Daniel demanded."I can't tell you over the phone.""Then send me your location.""I need you to understand something first. You cannot bring David or your security people."Daniel frowned. "Samuel, someone has already threatened my family. I'm not walking into another trap because you suddenly want to talk.""I understand.""Then why are you asking me to come alone?""Because I don't know who is listening."Daniel glanced towards the staircase. "Are you being followed?""I thin
