Chapter 44 - The Third ChildThe documents identified a boy named Gabriel.
He was sixteen.
Clara had secretly supported him financially.
Mark tracked him to a boarding school.
Gabriel looked nothing like Lily.
But he had Clara's eyes.
When Mark introduced himself, Gabriel immediately asked:
“Did she die?”
Mark nodded.
Gabriel looked down.
“She promised she'd come back.”
Mark sat beside him.
“She loved you.”
Gabriel looked at him.
“Did she love me enough to tell you?”
Mark couldn't answer.
Then Gabriel revealed something.
Clara had given him a key.
A key to another property.
A lake house.
She told him never to open the basement until Mark came.
