CHAPTER 15 The Letter From Her Father
The Letter From Her Father
Emma stared at the envelope.
Nobody spoke.
Not Daniel.
Not Noah.
Not the police.
Everyone knew.
Whatever was inside...
Was meant to change her life.
Her fingers shook as she opened it.
Inside was a letter.
Old.
Yellowed.
Written decades earlier.
She recognized the handwriting immediately.
Not Richard's.
Someone else's.
Her father's.
She had never met him.
But she knew his name.
Thomas Carter.
Her hands began trembling.
She read.
"Emma,
If you are reading this, then Richard finally told you the truth.
I am sorry I wasn't there when you grew up.
I am sorry you believed you were forgotten.
The truth is, I never left you.
I was protecting you.
Your mother and I discovered something about the Harrington family.
Something dangerous.
Something that could destroy powerful people.
Richard wanted to expose them.
But he was too late.
They already knew.
The person hunting the Harrington children isn't trying to kill them.
They are trying to control them.
And Emma...
If you are standing beside Daniel when you read this...
do not trust him completely.
Because one of the seven children is not a victim.
One of them helped destroy the family."
Emma stopped reading.
Daniel looked at her.
"What?"
She slowly lowered the letter.
Her eyes filled with fear.
"The person who destroyed your family..."

She looked at the Harrington brothers.
"...is one of you."
