Chapter 21 - A Sealed Black Envelope Arrives At Midnight

Late one quiet Friday evening, after Mia was fast asleep in her bedroom and the Dallas estate was wrapped in deep serenity, the gate chime sounded. Ethan walked down the long stone driveway to check the pillar, finding a small, unmarked black envelope resting on the marble ledge.

There was no return address or postal stamp, only a heavy crimson wax seal stamped with an unfamiliar emblem from an overseas private trust. Ethan brought the envelope into his study, using a silver letter opener to slice open the heavy parchment paper inside.
