Chapter 3 - Samantha Demands The Complete Truth About Her Mother's Death
Arthur dragged Samantha toward the private executive lounge behind the marble reception desk, ignoring the hotel manager’s anxious inquiries.
Evelyn followed close behind, her high heels clicking sharply against the floor as she adjusted her diamond brooch with trembling fingers.
“You can’t run from this anymore, Arthur!” Evelyn shouted, slamming the heavy mahogany lounge doors shut behind them.

“Enough!” Samantha screamed, her voice echoing off the silk-lined walls of the quiet executive suite.
“Stop talking in riddles! My mother died in a boating accident off Montauk twenty years ago... didn't she?”
Arthur dropped into a leather armchair, burying his face in his hands as a long, shuddering breath escaped his chest.
Evelyn let out a bitter, cruel laugh that sent cold shivers running straight down Samantha’s spine.
