Chapter 7 - The Sister’s Letter
Victoria’s hands shook as she opened the sealed envelope, pulling out three pages of handwritten parchment dated seven years prior.
“Dearest Victoria,” the letter began, every line written in Sophia’s elegant, precise cursive script.
“I didn’t run away because I wanted to leave you. Our father and our brother, Carter, discovered my Great Lakes environmental report.”
“The report proves that Vance International has been illegally dumping toxic chemical byproducts into the municipal water supplies of five states.”
“To protect their forty-billion-dollar energy merger, Carter faked my death in that Boston hospital fire and hid me in Ohio under strict surveillance.”
“I gave birth to my son, Leo, in secret seven years ago. He is the rightful heir to our grandfather’s primary voting trust.”
“Carter knows that if Leo reaches his eighth birthday next month, the grandfather’s trust automatically transfers sixty percent of the firm to him.”
“They are coming for my boy, Victoria. Save him, and use the golden feather brooch to unlock Vault 7 at the Chicago Federal Reserve.”

Victoria dropped the letter onto the kitchen table, her heart pounding with absolute horror as the full scope of her family’s evil was exposed.
Her father and her brother hadn’t mourned Sophia; they had imprisoned her sister for seven years to control a multi-billion-dollar corporate trust.
