Chapter 4 - THE NIGHTMAREThe following week, Leo began having nightmares.
Every night, he woke screaming.
"Don't leave me!"
"Please!"
Elena would rush into his room and hold him until his breathing slowed.
One morning, she asked gently:
"What did you dream about?"
Leo stared at the floor.
"I dreamed Daddy disappeared."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
He hesitated.
"Victoria told me nobody would believe me."
Elena felt a cold chill move through her body.
"What else?"
Leo looked toward the bedroom door.
"She said when Daddy dies, this house will be hers."
Elena's face went pale.
She wanted to tell Mark.
But she also knew how easily Victoria could manipulate him.
So Elena began watching.
And what she saw frightened her.
Victoria started asking strange questions about Mark's medications.
About his schedule.
About his bank accounts.
About Leo's school.
About legal documents.
