Chapter 10 - The Betrayal That Came From Home
I refused to believe Chloe.
My mother?
Impossible.
But impossible was the word I had used every time someone revealed another truth.
I demanded proof.
Chloe gave me access to an old account.
Payments.
Messages.
Meetings.
My mother’s name appeared.
But the reason shocked me.
She wasn’t helping Dominic because she hated me.
She believed she was saving me.
She thought Dominic was destroying my life.
So she made a deal.
A terrible deal.
A deal that created the nightmare I was now living.
She tried to control the situation.
Instead, she helped create it.
I confronted her.
She cried.
“I was trying to protect you.”
I looked at her.
“You all keep saying that.”
The pain in her face was real.
But so was mine.
Then she revealed the final piece.
She wasn’t the person who started everything.
She was only following orders.
Someone above her.
Someone who had controlled Dominic from the beginning.
Before she could say the name, her phone rang.
She answered.
Her face turned pale.
“What do you mean he escaped?”
I froze.
“Who escaped?”
She looked at me.

“Your grandfather.”
