Chapter 5 - The Snake in the House
Roman walked through the grand doors of his mansion, his mind racing with a deadly clarity. Ellie followed closely behind him, clutching the polaroid photo.
If Cassandra had thrown the baby away, it meant she knew about Elena. It meant she knew about the child. And if she knew about the child, she likely knew exactly what happened to the woman Roman had loved and lost.
