Chapter 26 - The Envelope from London
It was a cold December evening in Greenwich, with soft snow falling over the wide, manicured lawns of the estate.
A private diplomatic courier stood on the porch, holding a thick black envelope sealed with red crest wax.
Marcus Vance accepted the package, scanning it through X-ray equipment before bringing it to Ethan in the study.
Inside was a high-resolution photograph of a private yacht docked in Monaco, holding a young man who looked shockingly familiar.
Accompanying the photograph was a short, typed letter written on heavy vellum paper that made Ethan's jaw tighten.
"Mr. Vance, Marcus Kane had a son before he died in Texas—a boy raised in secrecy in Western Europe."
"He has just reached his twenty-first birthday and has inherited his father's original private journals."
"He believes you murdered his father to steal his family's wealth, and he is coming to America to seek revenge."

Ethan stared at the photograph, looking into the dark, vengeful eyes of the twenty-one-year-old heir standing on the yacht.
