Chapter 6 - The Dark Secret Of The Person Before Elena
The leather interior of Rafael’s luxury sedan smelled of rich mahogany and expensive cologne as they sped away. Elena sat in the back seat, cradling little Nicolás while her father made rapid phone calls from the front.
“Get the legal team on standby; I want a full forensic audit of Alejandro’s corporate accounts by morning,” Rafael ordered. He hung up the secure car phone and turned around to look at his daughter with deep concern.
“Are you alright, Elena? Did he hurt you anywhere else?” Rafael asked gently. Elena shook her head, though her wrist throbbed fiercely where Alejandro’s fingers had gripped her skin.
“I’m physically fine, Dad, but my mind is racing about what Victoria said,” Elena admitted, staring out the window. “Who was Sofia? What really happened to her inside that house five years ago?”
“Sofia Sterling... or rather, Sofia Moretti before the annulment,” Rafael murmured, recalling the old high society scandal. “The official police report said she packed her bags and fled the country in the middle of the night.”
“Victoria just confessed that Alejandro tried to finish something with her,” Elena whispered with a shiver. “Which means the police report was nothing more than a fabricated cover story engineered by the family.”

Rafael’s expression darkened as the puzzle pieces fell into place in his sharp business mind. “If Alejandro silenced one wife and nearly did the same to you, there must be a paper trail,” Rafael deduced.
“And we are going to find every single piece of evidence before the sun comes up,” Elena resolved firmly.
