Chapter 5 - The Mother Who Had Been Protecting a MonsterLinda confessed.
Thomas Bennett had not died in the accident.
At least not immediately.
He survived long enough to identify the people who betrayed him.
Linda had hidden him.
For years, everyone believed him dead.
But Thomas had died later from complications.
Clare had never known.
The lie had been designed to protect her.
Linda had been working with Victor Kane.
Not because she wanted to betray her daughter.
Because Kane had threatened Clare.
The money transfers were part of a larger plan.
Kane wanted Roman's company.
He intended to use Clare's business as the legal cover for the final transaction.
Roman, meanwhile, was still in custody.
Clare refused to wait.
She went to the warehouse where Kane's men were keeping the records.
She found evidence.
Then she was caught.
Kane smiled.
“Roman will sacrifice everything for you.”
Clare glared.
“You don't know him.”
“I know exactly what he is.”
“No.”
She smiled.
“You know what his father was.”
Kane's expression changed.
She had found his weakness.
Because Kane had once worked for Frank DeLuca.
Roman arrived before sunrise.
The warehouse became a battlefield.
But Roman didn't shoot Kane.
He arrested him.
He wanted the truth.
Not revenge.
Kane finally confessed.
The North Harbor Circle had been built around a secret account.
Thomas discovered it.
Frank wanted to destroy the evidence.
Kane betrayed Frank.
Rizzo betrayed Kane.
And Victor Kane had been orchestrating everything for years.
But the biggest twist remained.
Frank DeLuca had not ordered Thomas's death.
He had tried to protect him.
The true order had come from someone nobody expected.
Clare's father's business partner.
A man named Edward Bennett.
Clare's uncle.
