Chapter 21 - The Hidden House The ledger was hidden in the house where my mother and I had lived.
I returned alone.
Dust covered everything.
The old clock still worked.
Every tick sounded like a countdown.
I searched the attic.
Nothing.
Then I noticed something beneath the floorboards.
A small metal box.
Inside was my mother's ledger.
And beneath it was a letter.
Serena, if you're reading this, Richard has returned.
I stopped breathing.
The letter continued.
Never trust the person who tells you they can protect you. Trust the person who gives you the truth even when it hurts.
At the bottom was another name.
Daniel.
My eyes filled with tears.
May you like
My mother had known him.
She had believed he could become better.
