Chapter 19 - THE BULLETVictoria fell.

“Mom!”

Eleanor dropped beside her.

Another bullet tore through the villa.

Julian dragged Eleanor behind the stone wall.

Security returned fire.

Victoria was bleeding heavily.

She grabbed Eleanor’s wrist.

From beneath her blouse, she pulled a necklace.

Inside was a tiny data key.

“Everything…”

Eleanor leaned closer.

“What?”

“Everything Elias owns.”

Victoria’s eyes fluttered.

“Don’t let him erase it.”

Paramedics rushed inside.

As they carried Victoria away, Eleanor stared at the blood on her hands.

For fifteen years she had believed her mother dead.

Now she might lose her only minutes after finding her.

Julian touched her shoulder.

Eleanor closed her hand around the key.

“No.”

Julian looked at her.

“He doesn’t get to write the ending.”
