Chapter 99

• The day was gloomy and gray, as if the sky itself was mourning the tragedy that had befallen Ellis Smith's life. Dressed in black, she walked with heavy steps through the room, greeting the guests who had come to offer their condolences. By her side, holding her hand firmly, was her daughter, Donna, whose sad eyes reflected the pain they both shared.
• Ellis gazed at the large photo of John Smith, strategically positioned at the entrance of the house. “Loyal husband, wonderful father. He will be missed,” read the inscription beneath the image. However, those words were lies, starting with John Smith himself, who was Jácomo Grecco, the brother of the man whom Ellis had killed six years ago as revenge for the death of her brother, Jason.
• Jácomo had lied to Ellis from the beginning, using the identity of John Smith while waiting for the right moment to exact his revenge. He had kidnapped both Ellis and Donna, threatening to take their lives. The threats were real, but what happened that night in the warehouse remained a mystery known only to God.
