ALEXA'S POV

"What are you talking about?"

"I received a message from someone who contacted my agent about the ledger."

"Katey," Mom muttered.

"The ledger is in danger, and so are all of you."

"Where is the ledger?" I asked.

Father Michael looked down.

"I don't have it."

"Wait, what?" I almost raised my voice.

He sat down and cleared his throat.

"Do you ever wonder why I hid myself all this while?"

"Oh, yes, we do wonder," I replied. "We have a lot of questions."

The people looking for the ledger are getting closer." He paused before continuing. "I hid myself to protect you all. Jeffrey gave the ledger to me years ago.

    JASON'S POV"Wait, she was with him because of money?" I asked loudly."Hush! She might hear you," Jace whispered, raising his voice just enough to make his warning useless."So, Lisa was born as a mistake?" Alexa asked. Her words sounded more like a statement than a question."Well, that's definitely what she'll think if she finds out," I replied."Oh, shit." Alexa sighed."I never liked Laura, so it's for the best," I added sternly.I was serious.I had never imagined that Dad could betray Mom like that. No matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn't wrap my head around it. Whatever problems my parents had faced in their marriage, I had never expected things to turn out this way."Well, she could be useful," Alexa said convincingly."We don't need her help," Jace countered."Oh, we definitely do.

    ALEXAI took a long, hot shower as soon as I got home.It wasn't just an ordinary shower. I needed to clear my thoughts.After getting out of the bathroom, I wrapped a towel around myself and sank onto the bed, feeling completely exhausted.I was glad we were getting closer to recovering the documents.I sighed in relief, hoping nothing else would complicate matters.

My heart pounded so hard that I could hear it.The doorknob turned, and the door opened.Jason walked in.I immediately sighed in relief.“Oh my God! You scared the shit out of me!” I exclaimed, holding my chest.“Okay, how?” he asked, sitting beside me.“I thought

    ‎‎MR ANDERSON'S POV‎‎“Max, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to,” Laura pleaded.‎‎I had heard the recording.‎‎It wasn't much of a big deal. There was obviously nothing she could use against us.

I've been taking tutorials. My food is actually good now.”“Okay, Mom.”I wasn't convinced.“Trust me.
