Chapter 18 - THE LETTEROne rainy evening, Elena found an envelope beneath the door.
There was no return address.
Her name was written across the front.
She opened it.
Inside was a single sentence:
You think Victoria was the beginning. She was only the first piece.
Elena's hands went cold.
She immediately called Mark.
He read the note.

Then Mark noticed something.
The handwriting.
He recognized it.
It belonged to someone who had worked with his late wife.
Someone who had disappeared shortly before her death.
Mark looked at Elena.
"I thought this was over."
Elena stared toward the dark window.
"So did I."
Outside, lightning flashed across the sky.
