Chapter 3: The Truth Hidden for Seven Years
Three days later, Isabella finally opened her eyes.
The private hospital room overlooked the Manhattan skyline.
She blinked at the sunlight.
Then she saw Ethan.
Her expression instantly filled with fear.
"No..."
She tried pulling away.
"Don't let Victor find me."
Ethan frowned.
"Victor?"
"My brother."
The words stunned him.
Victor Carter.
The man Ethan had trusted to run his company after Isabella's disappearance.
With trembling hands, Isabella told the truth.
The yacht explosion had never been an accident.
Victor had arranged everything.
He wanted Ethan's fortune.
He knew Isabella had discovered his financial crimes.
So he hired men to kill her.
She survived...
But suffered memory loss after the explosion.
By the time her memory slowly returned, Victor's men were still searching for her.
She ran.
She hid.
She gave birth to Emily alone.
She never contacted Ethan because she believed doing so would get him killed.
Ethan sat frozen.
The betrayal wasn't from an enemy.
It had come from his own family.
He looked toward Emily, peacefully sleeping in the hospital chair.
She had grown up collecting cans...
