Chapter 3: The Maid No One Saw
Chaos swallowed the mansion.
Victoria had disappeared through a hidden service corridor known only to longtime household staff.
Leo ordered every exit sealed.
Helicopters circled overhead.
Roads were blocked.
Still...
She vanished.
Meanwhile, Beatrice finally collapsed after doctors finished treating Lily.
Her injuries were worse than anyone realized.
Broken ribs.
A fractured wrist.
Severe bruising across her back.
The physician quietly pulled Leo aside.
"She stood against someone much stronger for a very long time."
Leo looked at the woman lying unconscious in the hospital bed.
He remembered every morning he had walked past her without learning her last name.
Every birthday cake she quietly baked for Lily.
Every toy she repaired.
Every nightmare she comforted after his endless business trips.
He had never noticed.
Lily had.
When Beatrice awoke, Leo stood beside her.
"I owe you everything."
She smiled weakly.
"You owe Lily a childhood."
Those words struck harder than any bullet.
That night Leo walked into his private office.
Without hesitation, he burned half the files documenting his criminal empire.
Mateo stared.
"You spent twenty years building this."
Leo watched the flames consume millions of dollars in illegal records.
"I almost lost my daughter because of it."
