Chapter 15 - The Second GameClara refused to run.
Fear had controlled her once.
It would not control her again.
She contacted the investigators.
They moved her to a secure location.
But Clara discovered something Marcus hadn't told her.
The Sterling foundation had received a mysterious donation.
Ten million dollars.
No name.
No explanation.
The money came through a chain of companies connected to Victor Sterling.
Clara stared at the documents.
Why would Victor send money to a foundation created from his family's downfall?
Unless—
It wasn't a donation.
It was a message.
That night, Clara received another envelope.
Inside was a key.
And a handwritten note:
The truth is beneath the house.

Clara knew exactly which house.
