Chapter 15 - THE LAST DOCUMENTThe mansion was searched.
Every drawer.
Every safe.
Every office.
Nothing.
Then Leo remembered something.
"Mommy had a blue box."
Elena turned.
"Where?"
Leo pointed toward the attic.
They searched through old photographs and boxes.
Finally, beneath a pile of Christmas decorations, they found it.
A small blue box.
Inside was a letter from Leo's mother.
Mark opened it.
The letter explained that she had once suspected someone was trying to manipulate Mark's finances.
She had hidden copies of important documents.
Among them was evidence connecting Victoria to the financial scheme.
Mark sat down.
Tears filled his eyes.
His late wife had tried to protect their son even after she was gone.
Leo climbed onto his father's lap.
"Daddy?"
Mark hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For not listening sooner."
Leo whispered:
"It's okay."
But Elena knew.

It wasn't okay.
Not yet.
