CHAPTER 23

The elderly man gave Sarah a nervous glance, showing no sign of emotion in his eyes. He continued, "You may call me Mr. Black," in a voice that scared Sarah more. "And as for what I want from you, I'll tell you at the end of this.."

Sarah's heart beat faster as she tried to make sense of the situation. Who was this man, and why had he kidnapped her? The questions were too many in her mind, but before she could say anything, the old man began to speak.

"Sarah, I know this must be confusing for you," Mr. Black said, his voice low and gravelly. "But there are things you need to know – things about your past, your family."

Sarah's brow furrowed in confusion. "My past? What do you mean?"

Mr. Black took a deep breath, his gaze never leaving hers. "Your mother, Sarah. She was a remarkable woman – a journalist who dedicated her life to uncovering the truth, no matter the cost."
