Chapter 4 - The Dark Warning
Vincent wiped his face, desperately trying to pull himself together. He looked at his younger half-sister, the only remaining piece of the mother he had loved so deeply.
"Sofia, I am so incredibly sorry," Vincent pleaded, his voice breaking. "I was arrogant. I was cruel. I will make this right. You are my sister. You'll never have to scrub a floor again. You own half of this estate."
Sofia didn't smile. She didn't look relieved.
Instead, she slowly lowered the yellowed letter. Her tears stopped falling. Her expression shifted entirely from fear and humiliation to a dark, serious, and incredibly dangerous warning.
She looked directly into Vincent’s eyes.
"I didn't come here for the estate, Vincent," Sofia said, her voice dropping into a register of deadly calm. "I came here because your father didn't die of a heart attack like the doctors said. And your mother didn't die in a car accident."
Vincent froze completely. The air in the luxurious bedroom suddenly felt suffocatingly thin.
"What are you talking about?" Vincent whispered, his heart hammering against his ribs.
