Chapter 13 - Eleanor Vance Discovers The Monstrous Truth About Her Son
Late that evening, matriarch Eleanor Vance walked down the quiet grand hallway to retrieve a forgotten book from the library.
As she passed Ethan’s private study, she heard heated voices rising from behind the partially open mahogany double doors.
“Once the transfer registers on Friday, we double Richard’s sedative dose,” Ethan was saying to Chloe in a harsh whisper.
“A sudden cardiac arrest in a paralyzed stroke victim won't raise any red flags with our coroner,” Chloe agreed coldly.
Eleanor gasped, clutching her gold locket against her chest as sheer, horrifying realization shattered her world in an instant.
Her younger son wasn't trying to protect his injured brother; he was actively planning to murder him for his money.
Tears streamed down the elderly woman’s cheeks as she backed away from the door, almost colliding with Maya in the dark corridor.
Maya placed a comforting hand on Eleanor’s shoulder, guiding the trembling matriarch quietly into Richard’s private suite.

When Eleanor saw Richard standing on his own two feet inside the room, she burst into silent, overwhelmed tears of joy.
“I’m alive, Mother,” Richard whispered, embracing his crying mother tightly. “And with Maya’s help, we are taking our home back.”
