Chapter 6 - The Maid's Confession

Rebecca wiped her tear-stained cheeks, stepping closer to Ethan’s wheelchair as she kept a vigilant eye on the grand mansion windows behind them.

"Six months ago, the night of the crash... I was working the night shift at the clinic," Rebecca confessed in a panicked whisper. "Your brother Julian was brought in critically injured. Before he passed away, he handed me that keycard and the note. He made me swear on my son's life that I would get hired at the estate and deliver it to you only when Evelyn and Marcus were absent."

Ethan swallowed the lump in his throat, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the armrests. "Why today, Rebecca? Why didn't you give this to me months ago?"

"Because today is the board meeting!" Rebecca cried out softly. "At noon today, Evelyn and Marcus are signing the court order to declare you permanently incapacitated! They are transferring 100% of your voting stock to Marcus! Once that contract is signed, they plan to move you to a private hospice overseas!"

Ethan glanced down at his wristwatch.

It was 11:15 AM.
