Then Samuel called.
“We found Michael.”
I stared.
“Is he alive?”
“Yes.”
I began crying.
Samuel continued.
“But he’s not alone.”
I waited.
“David is with him.”
The call ended.

At the office building, Michael stood beside a conference table.
He looked older.
Thinner.
But unmistakably alive.
David stood near the window.
Evelyn was seated in a chair.
Dr. Cole had also arrived.
The four people who had destroyed my life were finally together.
Samuel placed a recording device on the table.
“Start talking.”
David smiled.
“There’s no point pretending anymore.”
Michael looked at him.
“Tell them everything.”
David laughed.
“You first.”
Michael turned toward Samuel.
He explained that he had discovered the full extent of my fortune years earlier.

He had believed I was receiving too much attention and too much power.
He wanted control.
David promised to help him.
Together, they developed a plan to gain access to my company and inheritance.
