Chapter 10 - The Hidden Estate
The next morning, Flora arrived at a private Sterling estate outside the city.
It was nothing like Isaac's mansion.
There were no photographers.
No guests.
No celebration.
Only silence.
Noah poured her coffee.
“You can stay here.”
Flora nodded.
“I need to understand everything.”
He placed an old wooden box on the table.
“This belonged to Mom.”
Flora stared at it.
Inside were photographs of their childhood.
Their father.
Their mother.
And Flora herself.
She had forgotten how fearless she had once looked.
Noah smiled.
“You wanted a normal life.”
“I still do.”
“You can have one.”
She touched one photograph.
“Can I?”
“Yes.”
For the first time in years, Flora allowed herself to cry.
Not from fear.
From relief.
But while she was rebuilding herself, Isaac was preparing his next move.
He had one last weapon.
