Chapter 9 - THE PERSON PULLING VANESSA’S STRINGS
Lucas demanded the truth.
Vanessa finally broke.
She admitted she had been pressured.
The person behind the plan was Margaret.
Lucas’s own mother.
Margaret wanted control of the family trust.
She believed Lucas would become weak if he focused on raising Sophie alone.
The marriage was supposed to secure everything.
Vanessa was only the piece on the board.
Lucas felt betrayed.
Not by strangers.
By the people closest to him.
Margaret tried to defend herself.
“I did what was necessary.”
Lucas looked at Sophie.
“No.”
“You destroyed your own family.”
Then Margaret revealed one final secret.
Sophie’s mother had left something behind.

A letter.
A letter meant to be opened only if someone tried to take Sophie away.
