Chapter 15 - The Document That Arrived After The Arrests

The final page contained only one sentence.
No signature.
No explanation.
Just a warning.
“Rachel Bennett was never the target.”
I stared at it.
My entire body went cold.
If I wasn’t the target…
Then who was?
Dana continued reading.
The document explained everything had been designed around one person.
Eli.
Not because of his trust.
Not because of money.
Because of something hidden in his birth records.
Something someone wanted erased.
I looked at my son.
The same child everyone claimed they wanted to protect.
The same child everyone used as a weapon.
Then Dana found the attached file.
A birth document.
Not fake.
Not altered.
Real.
And at the bottom was a name.
A name that made my parents go silent.

A name that changed everything I thought I knew about my son.
A name that proved Eli’s story had started long before I ever became his mother.
