Chapter 8 - My Father Had Created the Network That Stole My Legs, but He Wasn't the Man I Expected to See When I Finally Found HimMy father was living in a private facility.
Older.
Sick.
Still dangerous.
He looked at me.
“You finally walked.”
“Not yet.”
“You will.”
I stared.
“You did this.”
“I built the system.”
“Why?”
“Because power requires weakness.”
“You destroyed my life.”
“I protected the family.”
“By making me a prisoner?”
“You were too compassionate.”
I laughed.
“So you broke my legs?”
“No.”
“I was injured in an accident.”
“Yes.”
“And then?”
“I made sure you stayed manageable.”
I felt sick.
He admitted it.
Rafael took control.
Audrey discovered the truth.
She escaped.
Lily's grandmother helped.
The entire conspiracy had been planned.
I asked:
“Why Lily?”
“Because her grandmother knew the treatment.”
“She was a child.”
“Exactly.”
My father smiled.
“Children see things adults don't.”
That made me angry.
“You never deserved a family.”
He laughed.
“Yet here you are.”
Then I noticed something.
He was wearing the same ring as my doctor.
The symbol matched the security company.
This went deeper.
There was another group.
One my father had once served.
It controlled the doctors.
The police.
The lawyers.
Everyone.
But Lily had one more clue.
She pointed toward my father's desk.
A photograph.
Audrey.
Pregnant.
With another woman.
My father looked at it.
I recognized her.
Lily's grandmother.
They had worked together.
My father had once trusted them.
Then betrayed them.
The entire story became clear.
And I knew what we had to do.
