Chapter 6 - Clara’s Mother Wanted Me to Arrive Alone, but I Brought the One Person She Had Forgotten Could Destroy Her PlanThe person was Clara's father.
He knew the estate.
He knew the family.
And he hated what they had become.
“I'll take you there.”
“Why?”
“Because I owe my daughter.”
He was shaking.
“I failed her.”
“Yes.”
“I know.”
“You almost killed her.”
“I know.”
“And our child.”
He closed his eyes.
“I know.”
I looked at him.
“You don't get forgiveness.”
“I don't expect it.”
“Then why help me?”
“Because I finally understand who was using us.”
We arrived at the estate.
I went through the front.
My men surrounded the property.
The father entered first.
Clara's mother was waiting.
She smiled.
“You came.”
I looked at Clara.
She was alive.
Weak.
Bruised.
But standing.
I moved toward her.
Her mother raised a gun.
“Stay.”
I stopped.
She smiled.
“You love her.”
“Yes.”
“That makes you weak.”
“No.”
“It makes you predictable.”
I looked at her.
“You made one mistake.”
“What?”
“You hurt my wife.”
She laughed.
“And now you'll kill me?”
“No.”
I stepped back.
“My wife deserves to know the truth.”
Clara's mother looked at her.
“There is no truth.”
Clara looked at her.
“You killed my baby.”
The room went silent.
Her mother smiled.
“You chose the wrong husband.”
Clara stepped forward.
“No.”
She looked at me.
“I chose my family.”
Then she turned toward her mother.
“And you're not part of it anymore.”
The woman raised her gun.
Clara's father stepped between them.
The shot hit him.
He fell.
I moved.
My men entered.
The mother was arrested.
The family collapsed.
Daniel surrendered.
Elias fled.
Victor was captured.
Clara's father survived.
Barely.
He apologized.
Clara didn't forgive him immediately.
But she held his hand.
That mattered.
The war was over.
But the cost was enormous.
We had lost our baby.
No justice could change that.

The only thing we could do was survive.
Together.
