Chapter 21 - A Mysterious Package Left On The Front Porch Table
Sunset painted the ocean in breathtaking shades of gold and pink as evening settled over the coastal house.
Jason walked out onto the wooden front porch to bring in the evening mail from the small wicker table.
Resting on top of the letters was a single, unmarked black envelope sealed with a red wax stamp.
There was no return address and no postal markings, indicating it had been delivered by hand.
Jason used his thumb to break the wax seal, pulling out a single sheet of heavy parchment paper.
Written across the center in elegant, familiar handwriting was a chilling message that stopped his heart:
“The empire is yours, but the war for our bloodline has only just begun. We are watching you both…”

Jason stared at the warning with a steady gaze, knowing that peace was only ever a temporary illusion.
