Chapter 8 - Marcus Wanted My Mother—But She Refused to Run and Revealed the One Secret That Could Destroy Him ForeverMy mother surrendered.
Not because she was weak.
Because she had planned for this.
She brought the original ledger.
The one my father had hidden.
The ledger contained proof Marcus had murdered dozens of people.
But there was something else.
A recording.
Marcus admitting everything.
He had planned the kidnapping.
The hospital theft.
The attacks.
Everything.
My mother had recorded him years ago.
She had kept it as insurance.
Now we had him.
Marcus was arrested.
The children were safe.
But there was one problem.
His organization remained.
Hundreds of people still answered to him.
I had one decision to make.
Continue the empire.
May you like
Or end it.
I chose my family.
