Chapter 10 - Vincent Kidnapped Me—But He Made One Mistake: He Told Me Why My Mother Had Been Hiding the TruthVincent took me from the hospital parking garage.
I woke in an abandoned warehouse.
He sat across from me.
“You look just like her.”
“My mother?”
“Yes.”
He told me the truth.
My mother hadn't died.
She had escaped.
She had been living under another identity.
She had spent years trying to expose Vincent.
Then she disappeared again.
Vincent believed she was dead.
But she had left one final message.
For me.
“You're not supposed to know the truth until you're old enough.”
I asked why.
“Because knowing your identity would make you a target.”
Vincent smiled.
“And now you know.”
The doors exploded.
Adrian entered.
He wasn't alone.
Federal agents surrounded the building.
Vincent was arrested.
Adrian ran to me.
I threw my arms around him.

For once, he didn't say anything.
He simply held me.
