THE FAKE HEIRESS and Her OBSESSIVE BROTHER Chapter 25: The Selection
The morning light was pale and cold when Vivian reached the edge of the city.She had walked for hours, her feet aching with every step. The metal box was gone now, handed over to Margaret's contact along with copies of every document her mother had left behind.Elena had stayed behind to make sure the evidence reached the authorities. Vivian had insisted. She needed to know the truth was safe, even if she wasn't.Now she stood at the entrance of an old industrial district, the meeting place burning in her mind. Richard had chosen the location deliberately. It was isolated, forgotten, and surrounded by abandoned buildings, the kind of place where screams could disappear into the wind.Vivian checked her phone. No messages. No calls. Only the photograph in her pocket.Her mother's face stared back at her from the faded picture, her eyes seeming to carry a silent plea. Don't give up on me.Vivian tightened her grip around the photograph and walked forward.---The building was an abando

The train carried them away from the city, the lights gradually fading behind them.Vivian sat with the metal box on her lap, her mind still turning over everything Sarah had told her. The evidence was complete now photographs, documents, financial records, names. Everything her mother had fought to preserve was finally in their hands.Elena sat across from her, her expression troubled. "Sarah gave us everything," she said quietly. "But she also gave us a warning."Vivian nodded slowly. "She said Richard has people everywhere. That we can't trust anyone." "Then how do we get the evidence to the right people?" Vivian looked down at the metal box. "We find someone who isn't afraid of him. Someone who can't be bought." "And if that person doesn't exist?" Vivian's jaw tightened. "Then we make them exist."---They arrived in a small town just before dawn.The streets were empty, and most of the buildings were dark. Vivian stepped off the train, the metal box tucked securely beneath her ar

The night air was cold against Vivian's face as she stepped out of the bookstore.She clutched the note in her hand, her mother's photograph pressed against her chest. The address was burned into her memory: a cottage near the cliffs, a blue door, a man who had been hiding for years.Elena walked beside her, her footsteps quick and determined. "We need to move fast. They might come back."Vivian nodded, but her mind was elsewhere. She was thinking about the man's words. Richard wants to meet you. Three days. That was all the time she had."We need to find a way to the cliffs," Vivian said. "The train station is still open. We can take the last train."They walked through the empty streets, their shadows stretching beneath the dim streetlights. The town had fallen silent, its residents hidden behind closed doors.The train station was nearly empty. Vivian bought two tickets and waited on the platform, her eyes scanning the darkness.Elena stood beside her. "You're thinking about the me

The bookstore's back door slammed behind them, sealing the darkness inside.Vivian ran through the narrow alley, her hand clamped around the envelope. Elena followed close behind, their footsteps splashing through puddles left by the night's rain.Behind them, voices shouted. Heavy boots pounded against wet pavement. "They're coming," Elena gasped.Vivian didn't answer. She pushed herself faster, her lungs burning with each breath.The alley opened onto a narrow street lined with closed shops. Vivian turned left without thinking, then right, then through a gap between two buildings.She didn't know where she was going. She only knew she couldn't stop.Elena grabbed her arm and pulled her into a recessed doorway. They pressed themselves against the cold stone, their breathing ragged.Footsteps rushed past. The voices grew distant.Vivian waited, her heart pounding so loudly she was certain someone would hear. Slowly, the sounds faded.Elena released a shaky breath. "I think they're gon

The cottage door closed behind them, leaving Vivian and Elena standing on the narrow path outside.For several seconds, neither woman spoke. Vivian held the photograph Clara had given her against her chest. Her mother's face stared back at her from another time, a younger woman with tired eyes and a fragile smile. After everything Clara had revealed, Vivian could no longer see the photograph as a simple memory. It was evidence. It was a connection to the woman who had disappeared twenty-two years ago.Elena finally broke the silence. "Are you all right?"Vivian nodded, though her chest still felt tight. "I'm not sure."Clara's words continued to echo in her mind. Your mother was closer to the truth than you realize.Vivian looked toward the cottage. Clara had spent years hiding from Richard's network. She had survived when so many others had not. And yet even after all those years, fear still lived in her eyes."If Richard's people found Clara once," Vivian said quietly, "they could f
