Chapter 4: The Detective

At the hospital, Detective Ryan Cole arrived before midnight.
He listened carefully as Amelia played her father’s voicemail.
His expression hardened.
“Your father came to me two weeks before he died,” Ryan said. “He believed someone was trying to force him to change his will.”
Amelia’s stomach turned.
“Did he?”
Ryan opened a folder.
“No. He filed a sealed statement instead.”
Inside was a copy of the original will.
Everything belonged to Amelia.
The mansion.
The investment company.
