Chapter 116"Marcus." Camilla could barely breathe.The voice from beneath the floor came again."Come down, Camilla."Dominic immediately stepped in front of her."Nobody is going anywhere."A low chuckle came from the darkness."Still protecting her, Dominic?"Dominic froze he knew that voice not from the past from the phone call his father's voice.Camilla looked at him."That's him."Dominic nodded slowly."Yes."His mother stepped backward."No."Her face had gone completely pale."That isn't possible."A figure slowly emerged from the darkness he was older than the man in the photographs, but his face was unmistakable.Dominic's father the man everyone believed had died years ago, he looked at Dominic."My son."Dominic raised his gun."You have a lot of explaining to do."His father looked at the weapon and smiled sadly."You've grown.""Don't."Dominic's voice shook with anger."You don't get to act like nothing happened."His father nodded."You're right."Camilla stepped aro

Chapter 115"Mom?"Elena's voice was barely audible, the woman looked at her, tears filling her eyes."My little girl."Elena stood frozen, for years, she had believed her mother was dead.She had spent her entire life believing that nobody wanted her.Yet the woman standing in front of her was looking at her like she had never stopped loving her.Camilla slowly looked at Alexander."You knew."Alexander's expression was heavy."I knew she was alive."Camilla's eyes filled with tears."You knew my mother was alive all this time?""Not the way you think.""Then explain!" Alexander took a step toward her."I thought Richard had killed her."Richard laughed."That's where you're wrong."He looked at the woman beside him."I found her first."The woman glared at him."And you kept me locked away."Richard's smile faded."You had information I needed."Camilla's mother stepped forward."I refused to give it to you."Richard looked at her coldly."So I waited."Dominic raised his gun."Enou

Chapter 114Camilla slowly turned around.Her mother stood behind her, both hands wrapped tightly around the gun.The barrel was pointed directly at Camilla's chest.For a moment, nobody moved."Mom?"Her mother's eyes were filled with tears."Don't move."Dominic immediately stepped in front of Camilla."Put the gun down."His mother shook her head."Dominic, please don't make this harder.""You've been lying to me for years.""I was protecting you.""By pointing a gun at Camilla?"Her hand trembled."You don't understand what she is."Camilla's heart sank."What am I?"Before her mother could answer, the man at the stairs spoke."She's the key."Camilla looked at him."You."He nodded."My name is Adrian."Dominic stared at his father."You're alive.""I never died.""Why?"Adrian's eyes moved toward Camilla."Because your grandfather wanted me dead."Camilla's mother lowered the gun slightly.Adrian continued, "I knew too much. I knew about Blackcrest. I knew about the children. An

Chapter 113Dominic froze. His mother's face appeared in his mind.It couldn't be, his mother had always been the gentle woman who stayed away from Blackcrest's affairs. She had spent years telling him that his father was dead and that there were things in the past he was better off forgetting.But now Camilla was saying she had seen her. Standing beside his father, inside her childhood room."Are you sure?" Dominic asked quietly and Camilla nodded."I remember her."Dominic shook his head."No.""You don't believe me?""I believe you. I just don't understand."Camilla looked at the photograph again."The man was standing beside your mother. I remember their voices.""What did they say?"Camilla closed her eyes a fragment of the memory returned.She was young, lying in bed her mother was standing near the door, crying.A man stood beside her, then his mother had knelt beside the bed."Camilla, you have to forget this night."The little girl had been confused."Why?""Because if you re

Chapter 112"My father's voice." Dominic's words left everyone silent.Camilla watched him carefully, for the first time since she had known him, Dominic looked genuinely shaken."Are you sure?" she asked.He nodded slowly."I would recognize that voice anywhere."Sebastian leaned forward. "Then he's alive."Dominic looked at him."That's what I thought.""Thought?"Dominic clenched his jaw. "My father disappeared when I was younger. We were told he died in an accident. There was a body, but I never saw it."Camilla's heart sank."So you've been living with a lie too."Dominic looked at her."Apparently."Elena suddenly spoke from the back seat."He didn't just disappear."Everyone turned toward her."What do you mean?" Dominic asked.Elena swallowed."I saw him.""When?""Three years ago."Dominic stared at her."Where?""Inside Blackcrest."His expression darkened."What was he doing?""He was meeting Richard."Sebastian immediately shook his head."That's impossible."Elena looked

Chapter 111"He's still alive."Those words kept ringing in Camilla's head even after Elena's eyes closed."Elena!"Camilla shook her gently, panic taking over her face. "Open your eyes. Please."Dominic immediately knelt beside them and checked Elena's pulse."She's alive."Camilla let out a shaky breath."Then we need to get her help.""We will."Dominic lifted Elena into his arms while Camilla followed closely behind.Sebastian stayed at the entrance of the tunnel, watching the darkness behind them."We don't have much time," he said. "Richard's men will find this passage."Dominic nodded."Then we move."They hurried through the tunnel until they reached a hidden exit behind an abandoned building several streets away from the chapel.A black vehicle was waiting.Daniel stepped out the moment he saw them."What happened?""She's been shot," Dominic answered.Daniel immediately opened the back door."Put her inside."Camilla climbed in beside Elena and held her hand."She's not goin
