Chapter 18 - The Arrest By sunrise, federal agents arrived at the Sterling estate.
Eleanor was waiting.
She didn't run.
She didn't scream.
She simply stood on the staircase.
“You think you've won?”
The lead investigator replied:
“No.”
He showed her the warrant.
“We think you finally ran out of people willing to lie for you.”
Eleanor looked at Daniel.
He couldn't meet her eyes.
She laughed.
“You're betraying your own family.”
Daniel finally looked up.
“No.”
His voice was steady.
“I'm ending what you started.”
Eleanor was taken away.
But before she reached the door, she looked at me.
“You have no idea who Arthur was protecting.”

Then she smiled.
And that smile told me the story wasn't over.
