Chapter 3: The Son's Secret War
Miles Carter stood inside an abandoned warehouse overlooking the harbor.
Blood stained the sleeve of his suit.
Across from him sat Victor Kane.
The man responsible for everything.
For months, Miles had secretly gathered evidence against Kane's criminal empire.
Human trafficking.
Money laundering.
Political corruption.
Murders disguised as accidents.
Kane smiled from behind his desk.
"You really thought you could destroy me?"
Miles said nothing.
His mind remained focused on one thing.
His mother.
If she was safe, then everything had been worth it.
Even losing her trust.
Even becoming the villain in her eyes.
Kane leaned forward.
"Your mother is probably dead already."
For the first time, anger flashed across Miles' face.
Then his phone vibrated.
A message from Agent Walker.
Margaret secured.
Safe.
Miles closed his eyes.
Relief washed through him.
The smile vanished from Kane's face.
Because he suddenly understood.
The leverage he thought he had was gone.
At that exact moment, warehouse doors crashed open.
Federal agents stormed inside.
Weapons raised.
"Kane! Federal authorities! Don't move!"
Panic erupted.
Men ran.
Shouts filled the building.
But Miles remained perfectly still.
For nearly a year he had lived a lie.
Now it was finally ending.
Kane was arrested.
His organization collapsed overnight.

And for the first time in months, Miles could finally go home.
If his mother would still accept him.
