Chapter 2: The Envelope With No Return Address
Part 2 ⬇️
Victoria's composure cracked for just a second.
Then her expression shifted — not into shame, but into something colder.
Victoria: You want to take her side?
Fine.
But you should know what she really is, Marcus.
Marcus: Don't.
Victoria: She's not just a maid.
Ask her.
Ask her who she was before she walked into this house.
Elena went still.
Leo had stopped crying, but her arms tightened around him.
Marcus: Elena.
Look at me.
Elena lifted her eyes slowly.
Something in her face had changed — not guilt, but fear.
A different kind of fear.
Like a door she had kept locked for a long time was about to be forced open.
Marcus: Is there something I need to know?
Before Elena could answer, Victoria reached into the inside pocket of her gray jacket and pulled out a folded envelope.
She held it up between two fingers, her chin raised.
Victoria: I had her investigated three weeks ago.
Everything is in here.
Her real name.
Her real history.
And why she came to this house.
Marcus stared at the envelope.
He didn't reach for it.
Marcus: Where did you get that?
Victoria smiled for the first time — slow, satisfied, and completely without warmth.
Victoria: From the man who sent her to us.

What secret is Elena hiding — and who sent her to the Vance estate?
The truth is darker than anyone expected.
