Chapter 4: The Photograph Behind the Wall

Chapter 4: The Photograph Behind the Wall

That night, Rosa couldn't sleep.

Something about Mateo's words haunted her.

"She said Daddy would get angry."

At midnight, Rosa walked through the mansion.

She stopped in front of the forbidden door.

The cameras above it were blinking.

She looked around.

Nobody was there.

Slowly...

she touched the door handle.

It was cold.

Locked.

But then she noticed something.

A small crack beside the wooden frame.

Something was hidden inside the wall.

A photograph.

Rosa pulled it out.

Her hands began shaking.

It was a picture of Victor.

A young woman.

And a little girl.

The girl looked exactly like Mateo.

Rosa whispered:

"No..."

Because she realized the truth.

The child everyone thought disappeared...

May you like

was never gone.

She was hidden.
