Chapter 14 - The AttackThe danger returned without warning.
One evening, Sophie and Clara were driving home when another vehicle began following them.
The security team reacted immediately.
The chase lasted only minutes.
But the message was clear.
Someone still wanted Sophie frightened.
Julian arrived at the house shortly afterward.
His face was grim.
“This isn't Arthur.”
Sophie stared at him.
“Then who?”
Julian placed a photograph on the table.
It showed Marcus Vance.
But Marcus was supposed to be in federal custody.
“He has an accomplice,” Julian said.
Sophie felt the old fear return.
Not for herself.
For her mother.
Clara stepped into the room.
“No more running.”
Sophie looked at her.
Clara's voice remained calm.
“Your father taught us that fear controls people.”
