Chapter 4 - THE TRUTH HIDDEN BY GREED

Before Ethan could reveal himself, an elderly nun contacted him after seeing his investigation.

She carried one final secret.

The orphanage fire had not been an accident.

A powerful businessman had ordered the building burned for an insurance payout tied to the valuable land beneath it.

Witnesses had disappeared.

Records had been destroyed.

Children had died because of greed.

Only one employee had repeatedly risked her life to save them.

Elena.

The nun handed Ethan an old necklace recovered after the fire.

Inside was a tiny photo.

A young Elena holding a laughing little boy.

On the back were four words.

My son forever.

Ethan finally understood everything.

Elena had never abandoned him.

She had lost him while trying to save everyone else.

Meanwhile, the businessman responsible for the tragedy had become one of Valeron Technologies' largest investors.

For twenty years...
