CHAPTER 3 – THE SECRET INSIDE THE MANSION
CHAPTER 3 – THE SECRET INSIDE THE MANSION
Ethan explained everything.
Mr. David was too ill.
He had asked Ethan—his only grandson—to protect Agatha until he recovered.
Nothing inappropriate would happen.
Agatha didn't trust a single word.
Still...
Days turned into weeks.
She slowly discovered Ethan wasn't arrogant.
He cooked.
Helped the gardeners.
Visited orphanages every weekend.
For the first time in years...
Agatha laughed again.
And she hated herself for it.
Because she was still legally married...
to his grandfather.
One afternoon...
She accidentally entered the forbidden west wing.
Inside she found hundreds of old family photographs.
Then...
one picture stopped her heart.
Her mother.
Young.
Smiling.
Standing beside...
Mr. David.
Holding a newborn baby.
Behind the frame...
another document.
Birth Certificate.
Mother:
Mary Collins.
Father:
David Harrison.
Child:
Agatha Harrison.
Her hands turned ice cold.
"No..."
"No..."
"If this is true..."
"...then who raised me all these years?"
Before she could think—
Someone quietly closed the door behind her.
Mr. David stood there.
No wheelchair.
No oxygen tube.
Perfectly healthy.
He looked at her with tears in his eyes.
"It's time..."
May you like
"...you finally learn why I let the whole world believe I was dying."
