Chapter 4 - The Papers Beneath The Floor

I searched my grandfather’s room.

Not because I wanted revenge.

Because I needed proof.

My family had years of experience making people doubt reality.

I needed something they couldn’t explain away.

Inside an old wooden box, I found documents.

Bank records.

Property papers.

Medical forms.

Then I found the one that mattered.

A transfer agreement.

Grandpa’s house.

Signed over.

To Michael.

But the signature looked wrong.

I took a photo.

Then I noticed something else.

A second page.

A handwritten note.

“If anything happens to me, Claire must see this.”

My breath stopped.

Grandpa had prepared for this.

He knew.

Then I heard footsteps.

Michael stood in the doorway.

“You shouldn’t be looking through that.”

I held up the paper.

“You shouldn’t have locked him away.”

His expression hardened.

And for the first time, my father looked afraid.
