Chapter 8 - Someone Tried to Take Me From My MotherIt happened two nights later.
Mom and I were leaving a grocery store.
A black van stopped beside us.
A man stepped out.
He called my name.
“Rory.”
Mom immediately pulled me behind her.
“Who are you?”
The man smiled.
“I know your father.”
Mom grabbed my hand.
We ran.
Vincent's security team arrived seconds later.
The man escaped.
But he left something behind.
A photograph.
Me.
Taken outside our apartment.
Another.
Mom at work.
Another.
Vincent.
Someone had been watching all of us.
The photograph contained a message.
Give us the notebook.
Mom refused.
Vincent increased security.
But he didn't treat me like a prisoner.
Instead, he asked:
“What do you want to do?”
I looked at him.
“Find Daddy.”

He nodded.
“Then that's what we'll do.”
