Chapter 4 - Elena Finally Told Me Why She Had Been Hiding My SonWe found Elena two days later.
She was hiding in an abandoned church with Leo.
When she saw me, she dropped to her knees.
“I didn't know what else to do.”
I took Leo into my arms.
He immediately smiled.
But I wasn't smiling.
“Tell me everything.”
Elena cried.
“Mateo survived the accident.”
I closed my eyes.
“Continue.”
“He was badly injured. Isabella believed Nico would kill him if he knew Mateo was alive.”
“Why?”
“Because Nico wanted control of the family.”
She explained everything.
Nico had manipulated the accident.
Mateo had survived.
But he had suffered memory loss.
Nico convinced Isabella that if Marco discovered the truth, Mateo would become a target.
So they hid him.
For three years.
But there was one secret Elena had never told anyone.
Leo's father.
She looked at me.
“Leo is Mateo's son.”
The world stopped.
I stared at the baby in my arms.
“My grandson.”
She nodded.
“Mateo met me before he disappeared.”
My chest tightened.
“When?”
“Seven months before Leo was born.”
I looked at Leo.
Suddenly every piece fit.
The face.
The eyes.
The birthmark.
My grandson had been carrying my son's face back into my life.
But there was something Elena hadn't told me.
“Where is Mateo now?”

She looked terrified.
“Nico found him.”
