Later that night I read my father's letter again.
More carefully.
Looking for something I missed.
Then I noticed a hidden page folded inside.
My hands trembled as I opened it.
More writing.
More secrets.
"Victor was not my biggest mistake."
My heart skipped.
"There was someone above him."
Above him?
I kept reading quickly.
"A partner who disappeared before everything collapsed."
My stomach twisted.
A partner with Victor?
The letter didn't give a name.
Only a warning.
"If they ever come looking for you, run."
A chill ran through me.
Because suddenly Victor might not be the final enemy.
Just another piece of the story.
And somewhere out there…
Another person might still be watching.
Waiting.
Planning.
