Chapter 19 - The Journal Exposes A Dark Plot Against Parents
Dominic turned the fragile parchment pages of the hidden journal with trembling fingers, reading the shocking details below.
“The old man’s parents didn't die in a natural boating accident twenty years ago... Richard Sterling rigged the engine telemetry,” the entry read.
Dominic stood up abruptly, the book nearly slipping from his grasp as the dark secret of his family’s tragedy was laid bare.
Victoria and Richard hadn't just targeted his corporate empire for financial gain; they had been avenging an ancient family feud.
The accident that had claimed the lives of his mother and father was a premeditated assassination orchestrated by Sterling’s syndicate.
“Elena! Get down here right now!” Dominic called out urgently, his voice echoing off the vaulted ceilings of the empty suite.
Elena hurried up the grand staircase moments later, breathless and wide-eyed as she saw the grim expression on his face.
“What is it, Dominic? Did you find something else in her belongings?” Elena asked, stepping into the bedroom.
“She left her confession behind... my parents' deaths weren't an accident,” Dominic whispered, handing her the open leather journal.
