Chapter 3 — The Last Betrayal

Police arrived at the Carter estate before sunrise.
Search warrants filled every room.
Hidden financial records.
Forged wills.
Offshore accounts.
Encrypted phones.
The deeper investigators dug...
The uglier the truth became.
Marcus had borrowed hundreds of millions against company assets.
If Daniel inherited the company, the fraud would be exposed.
If Elena and Noah died...
Marcus inherited everything.
There was only one obstacle.
Daniel.
So they sent him overseas.
A "dream promotion."
An eighteen-month contract.
Designed to keep him away.
Long enough to erase every witness.
Detective Bennett entered the interrogation room.
"We arrested the family doctor."
Daniel looked up.
"He confessed."
"He says your mother ordered the injections."
Daniel closed his eyes.
Every childhood memory shattered.
Every birthday.
Every Christmas.
Every family dinner.
A lie.
Then another officer rushed inside.
"Marcus is gone."
Daniel stood.
"What?"
"He escaped."
Outside, tires screamed.
Marcus had stolen a black SUV.
He was heading toward the private airfield.
Daniel didn't wait.

He jumped into a police vehicle.
The chase had begun.
