Chapter 13 - THE NIGHT OF FEAR The mansion fell completely dark.
Leo began crying upstairs.
Maria ran toward the nursery.
Ethan followed.
A window stood open.
Cold night air swept through the curtains.
Leo was safe.
But the nursery floor was covered with photographs.
Photographs of Ethan.
Photographs of Maria.
Photographs of Leo.
And one photograph of Ethan's late wife.
Maria picked it up.
On the back was a handwritten message:
"You should have listened to her warning."
Ethan's blood ran cold.
This wasn't only about money anymore.
Someone was threatening his family.
He immediately called the police.
But before they arrived, Maria noticed something outside.
A car.
Parked beyond the gates.

Its headlights suddenly switched on.
Then it disappeared into the darkness.
