CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

ARIA POVThe chamber door opened by itself.Nobody moved.I stared into the darkness beyond it, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it.“Aria,” my mother whispered. “Whatever happens in there, don’t believe everything you see.”I looked at her. “You keep saying that, but you won’t tell me the truth.”“I will.”“When?”“When we find him.”David stepped forward. “We stay together.”My mother nodded, and we entered.The door closed behind us with a heavy metallic sound.The chamber was enormous. Old lamps flickered along the walls, revealing shelves filled with boxes, photographs, documents, and sealed containers. It looked less like a room and more like someone had been preserving an entire lifetime inside it.Then I saw the chair.Someone was sitting in it with his back facing us.My breath caught.My mother stopped walking.David went completely still.The man slowly stood.He turned around.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.He looked older than the man in the photographs, his hair

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

ARIA POVThe second door opened.Everyone turned toward it.A man stepped out of the darkness.For one terrible second, I thought it was Leon.But it wasn’t.He was older, dressed in a dark coat, with a scar running from his left eyebrow toward his cheek.My father immediately raised his weapon.“Don’t move.”The man smiled.“You still point a gun like you expect it to scare me.”My mother stepped backward.“No…”I looked at her. “You know him?”She nodded slowly.“He was supposed to be dead.”The man looked at me.“Hello, Aria.”My stomach tightened.“Who are you?”He smiled.“Your uncle.”The room went silent.My father moved in front of me.“You were never supposed to come back.”“I didn’t come back for you.”His eyes shifted toward the black Ledger.“I came for the truth.”Suddenly, the speakers crackled.Leon laughed.“Now everyone is finally together.”My father looked toward the ceiling.“You’re using him.”“Of course I am.”The scarred man shook his head.“Leon promised me som

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: THE MAN IN THE DARK

ARIA POVThe voice sounded exactly like mine.“Aria…”I backed away from the darkness, my heart hammering. David raised his weapon while Vivian swept her flashlight across the tunnel. Nothing moved, yet the voice came again, this time from a small speaker hidden behind the wall.“Subject identified. Welcome back, Aria Harrison.”Monica stared at me. “Please tell me this is some kind of sick joke.”“It isn’t,” David said grimly. “This system was built before Aria was old enough to remember anything.”“Remember what?” I demanded.He didn’t answer. I was tired of secrets, tired of everyone treating my life like a puzzle they had the right to solve without me. I snatched the silver key from his hand and marched toward the door at the end of the passage.“Aria, wait!”“No. You can explain everything after I find out why a machine knows my voice.”The key slid into the lock. A green light appeared, and the door opened onto a narrow staircase leading upward. Cold air brushed my face. Beyond

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR

ARIA POV“Your mother betrayed him because she wanted you.”Leon’s words kept repeating in my head long after the screen went black. I stared at the phone in Adrian’s hand, waiting for the image to return, for Leon to laugh and admit it was another cruel trick. But the screen remained dark.“My mother wouldn’t do that,” I whispered.Adrian placed the phone aside. “Leon knows how to turn the truth into a weapon. Don’t let him decide what you believe before you’ve heard the whole story.”I turned toward him. “You knew my father. You knew about the recording. You knew my memories might have been altered. How much else are you hiding?”“More than I want to.”“That’s not good enough.”“I know.” He leaned back in his seat. “But I can’t explain everything without showing you something first.”He stepped out into the rain, and I followed him into the building. We took the stairs to the third floor, where he unlocked an apartment door and motioned for me to enter.The apartment was modern but

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE

ARIA POV“Aria, darling. We need to talk.”My mother’s voice drifted through the open doorway, soft and familiar, yet it sent a chill down my spine. Adrian raised his weapon, positioning himself between me and the hallway.“Stay behind me,” he whispered.I barely heard him. All I could think about was the woman standing beyond that door—the woman who had raised me, lied to me, and apparently made a deal with Leon that had changed my entire life.“Mom?” I called.A shadow moved across the hallway.“Please, sweetheart. Let me explain.”I stepped toward the door, but Adrian caught my wrist gently.“Think carefully, Aria. We don’t know if she’s alone.”I looked at him. “She’s my mother.”“And someone just sent us a message claiming she was already inside the apartment. That means somebody knew where we were.”Before I could respond, my mother stepped into the light.She wore a dark coat, and rain glistened on her hair. Her face was paler than I remembered, and there were deep shadows bene

CHAPTER FORTY SIX

THE FATHER SHE NEVER KNEWAria stared at her mother.For several seconds, she couldn’t breathe.“Say that again.”Her mother’s lips trembled. “Aria…”“Say it again.”“Your biological father died before you were born.”The words landed harder the second time.Aria took a step backward.“No.”Her mother looked away.“No,” Aria repeated, louder. “That can’t be true. I saw him.”“You saw the man who raised you.”Aria froze.“What?”Her mother finally looked at her.“The man at Blackstone was your father in every way that mattered to you. He loved you. He protected you. He was the only father you knew.”“Then why did he say he was my father?”“Because he was.”“You just said he wasn’t!”“I said he wasn’t your biological father.”Aria’s mind raced.The memories came rushing back—the man’s voice at Blackstone, the way he had looked at her, the way he had spoken about her childhood as if he had been there for every moment.He had known things no stranger should know.He had called her his dau

CHAPTER FORTY -SEVEN

THE BROTHER IN THE DARK“Hello, Aria.”The voice came from somewhere behind her.Aria spun around.The apartment was completely dark.Adrian immediately pulled her behind him, one hand reaching beneath his jacket.“Who are you?” he demanded.No answer.Aria could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her ears.Then a soft laugh came from the hallway.Her mother gasped.“Elias?”Aria looked at her.“Mom?”“I know that voice.”Adrian switched on the emergency light.A dim glow spread across the apartment.Nobody was there.The hallway was empty.Then Aria noticed the door to the bedroom was slightly open.Adrian moved first.“Stay behind me.”They entered the bedroom.Empty.The window was locked.No balcony.No second exit.But sitting on the bed was a man.Aria stopped breathing.He was young—perhaps a few years older than her. Dark hair. Sharp eyes. A thin scar cutting through his left eyebrow.He sat calmly as if he had been waiting for them.Adrian raised his weapon.“Don’t move.”The

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT

THE MAN SHE FEAREDAria stared at her mother.Then at Adrian.Neither of them spoke.The photograph trembled between Aria’s fingers.“The person who betrayed Elias is still protecting Aria.”Her eyes returned to the words.“Mom?”Her mother couldn’t answer.Adrian slowly lowered his weapon.“Aria, listen to me.”“Don’t.”His expression tightened.“Please.”“You knew.”“I knew there were things your mother wasn’t telling you.”“That isn’t what I asked.”Adrian looked at the photograph.“I knew Elias had a daughter.”Aria’s breathing became shallow.“And you knew that daughter was me.”“I suspected.”“Suspected?”“Yes.”“When?”He hesitated.“Before I ever met you.”The words cut deeper than Aria expected.She stepped away from him.“So everything was planned?”“No.”“You came into my life because of my father.”“Yes.”Her eyes filled with anger.“And you never thought I deserved to know?”“I was trying to keep you alive.”“Everyone keeps saying that!”Her voice echoed through the room.

CHAPTER FORTY NINE

THE PROMISE TO ELIASNo one left the room.Aria stood near the table, watching Adrian. She wanted to believe that his admission meant he was finally ready to be honest, but years of deception had taught her that a confession could still conceal important details.“Start at the beginning,” she told him. “Tell me how you knew my father.”Adrian pulled out a chair but didn’t sit down.“I met Elias Vale when I was younger. I was involved in work I shouldn’t have been involved in, and I got caught in a situation I couldn’t get out of. Elias helped me leave it behind. He gave me a chance to start over.”“What kind of work?”“Delivering information for people who used money and threats to silence others. I wasn’t one of the people making the decisions, but I knew enough to understand what I was helping them do.”“And you stopped?”“Yes. Elias helped me walk away, but he also made me understand that walking away wasn’t the same as making things right.”Aria studied him. “So you stayed in cont

CHAPTER FIFTY

THE HOUSE THAT REMEMBEREDThe old Harrison estate stood at the end of a narrow road, hidden behind overgrown trees and a rusted iron gate. The fire had blackened its walls, and part of the roof had collapsed, but the main structure remained standing.Aria watched the house through the car window.She had been told that she spent the first six years of her life here. Yet the building felt less like a home than a place she had been warned not to remember.“Are you certain the records are inside?” she asked Alfred.“The inventory says they were stored in a secure room behind the study,” he replied. “Whether they survived the fire is another matter.”Adrian parked near the gate. Gabriel got out first and checked the grounds before signalling that the others could follow.Inside, dust covered the floorboards. Broken furniture lay beneath fallen plaster, and the smell of damp wood lingered in the air. Aria walked slowly through the hallway, trying to find something familiar.Her mother stop
