Chapter 6 - Caroline Had A First Son
At nineteen, Caroline had given birth to a boy and been pressured by her family into a private adoption.
Years later she found him.
His name was Daniel Mercer.
Caroline secretly built a relationship with him while fighting cancer. Thomas helped arrange their meetings.
She planned to tell Michael, but kept delaying.
Two months before Caroline died, Daniel disappeared from contact after Caroline received a threat:
STOP DIGGING OR YOUR FIRST MISTAKE BECOMES PUBLIC.
Michael hated the wording. Daniel was not a mistake.
The ledger contained payments marked D.M. They were not bribes. They were tuition assistance Caroline had quietly given her son.
Laura Bennett, Michael’s attorney, located Daniel.
He was alive in Boston.
More surprisingly, he had entered Michael’s mansion six months earlier as a security contractor.
