He looked older.
Exhausted.
Terrified.
Damian confronted him.
"You killed my father."
"No."
"Then who did?"
Hale looked toward Lila.
"The little girl."
Everyone stared.
"What?"
Hale swallowed.
"She saved you."
Damian's expression hardened.
"Explain."
Hale revealed that Damian's father had discovered a plot inside the Volkov organization.
Someone had been stealing money.
Someone had been manipulating medical records.
Someone wanted control of the family.
His father planned to expose them.
Then he died.
Hale had been forced to falsify the medical report.
But before he could reveal the truth, he was threatened.
"Who?"
Hale whispered:
May you like
"Your mother."
Damian went completely still.
