Chapter 9 - THE HOUSE BUILT FOR FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
A lakeside estate. Hidden for decades.
Inside: Sophie. Alive. Frightened.
Eleanor sat with the original ledger.
“If you expose this, the family name dies.”
Emily stepped forward.
“You already killed it.”

Emily didn’t move. She waited.
Sophie chose her.
They embraced.
The ledger fell open.
A photograph slipped out.
