Chapter 18 - The LetterOne winter morning, Sophie received a letter from federal prison.
The handwriting was unmistakable.
Arthur.
She almost threw it away.
Instead, she opened it.
The letter contained no apology.
No remorse.
Only one sentence:
You still don't know where the first fortune came from.
Sophie stared at the words.
Julian read the letter.
“This could be another manipulation.”
“I know.”
“Then why are you still looking at it?”
Sophie folded the paper.
“Because if he's lying, we'll prove it.”
She placed the letter inside a file.
But something about it bothered her.
Arthur had lost everything.
Why would he risk exposing himself again?
Unless there was something he knew that they didn't.

Something buried deeper than the empire.
Something that had survived the fall.
