Part 23: The Restitution
Part 23: The Restitution
There was a letter attached to the back cover.
From my father.
“Mara. If you are reading this, you won.”
“But winning isn’t enough.”
“An empire built on stolen ground will eventually swallow you too.”
“Fix it.”
The lawyer placed a bank statement on the table.
“There is an offshore account tied to this ledger.”
“Seventy million dollars.”
“Legally, it belongs to you now.”
He looked at me.
“You could walk away right now. Never look back.”
I didn’t even blink.
I didn’t need to think about it.
“No.”
I pushed the statement back across the table.
May you like
“Trace every name in this book.”
“Return it all with interest.”
