Chapter 6

A few months later, Nora received a letter.
No return address.
No explanation.
Only her name.
She opened it slowly.
Inside was a handwritten note.
Not from Marcus.
Not from Claire.
From someone else connected to the past.
Someone who had been waiting years to tell the truth.
Nora read the first line.
Then she looked at me.
“Elena…”
“What?”
She handed me the letter.
The words were simple.
But they changed everything.
“I believe there is something your family was never told about the night your father disappeared from your lives.”
I looked at Nora.
She looked back at me.
And for the first time in months, we weren’t afraid of the truth.
Because we had learned something important.
Truth could hurt.

Truth could change everything.
But truth could also set people free.
