Chapter 8 - My Father Had Hidden Billions for My Son—And Richard Was Willing to Kill to Get ThemThe hidden account was worth $2.4 billion.
But accessing it required Sammy's biometric confirmation.
Richard had spent years trying to find him.
Now he knew where he was.
We moved Sammy to a secure location.
But Richard attacked before we could leave.
Gunfire shattered the windows.
Security guards rushed in.
Emily grabbed Sammy.
I tried to move my wheelchair toward them.
My legs failed.
For a moment, I felt that old helplessness.
Then something inside me changed.
I grabbed the side of the desk.
"Go!"
I pushed myself forward.
I couldn't stand.
But I could move.
Emily stared at me.
"Ethan?"
"I said go!"
Richard's men entered.
Vincent fired.
The mansion became chaos.
I rolled through the hallway.
A bullet struck the wall beside me.
I reached Sammy.
"Come here."
He grabbed my hand.
We escaped through the basement tunnel.
Outside, snow was falling.
We made it to a safe vehicle.
But Emily wasn't with us.
She had stayed behind.
I turned back.
She was standing in the doorway.
Richard had a gun pointed at her.
"Ethan!"
"Go!"
I wanted to return.
But Sammy was beside me.
I had to protect my son.
We drove away.
Then Emily shouted:

"Find the account!"
The door slammed.
