Chapter 14 - Clara Confesses The Real Danger To Her Daughter
As federal marshals hauled Viktor out to a waiting transport van, Clara sank into an armchair with trembling hands.
She looked at Arthur, tears welling in her eyes as she realized the ten-year nightmare was finally coming to an end.
“I was so afraid they would hurt Lena... that’s why I never reached out to you, Arthur,” Clara confessed softly.
Arthur walked over, kneeling beside her chair and taking her cold hands gently in his warm palms.
“You protected our daughter with everything you had, Clara. You are the bravest woman I have ever known,” Arthur praised.
Lena stirred on the sofa, rubbing her sleepy eyes and looking around the room with innocent curiosity.
“Daddy? Are the bad men gone?” Lena asked sleepily, sitting up and hugging her favorite teddy bear.

Arthur smiled, walking over to pick her up and carrying her back into the warmth of her mother’s arms.
“They’re gone forever, sweetheart. Nobody is ever going to take us apart again,” Arthur promised lovingly.
