<p>Episode 6: THE FAMILY SECRET</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara couldn't forget Nadia's confession.</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel had met her mother the night before the wedding.</p><p><br/></p><p>If Elena was alive, why had she stayed away for nineteen years? And what did Daniel's family have to do with it?</p><p><br/></p><p>Determined to find answers, Amara went to the Cole family house.</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel's mother looked shocked to see her.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I need answers,” Amara said.</p><p><br/></p><p>“About Daniel?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“About my mother.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The woman's expression changed.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You knew Elena.”</p><p><br/></p><p>She sighed.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Yes. She worked for your father's company many years ago.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara froze. Her father, Victor, had always been described as a businessman who died in an accident. But Daniel's mother revealed that Victor had been a financial partner of the Cole family.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then came the bigger revelation.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Your father didn't die in an accident. There was a fire.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Who started it?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I don't know. But your mother discovered money being moved through accounts belonging to people who didn't exist.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara immediately remembered the mysterious account connected to Daniel.</p><p><br/></p><p>“The account?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Your mother found it. Then she disappeared.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara stared at her.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Did your family hurt her?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Not all of us.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Before Amara could ask more, she noticed an old portrait of Daniel's father standing beside Victor, with Elena between them.</p><p><br/></p><p>The date on the back read:</p><p><br/></p><p>September 14, 2007.</p><p><br/></p><p>The day of the fire.</p><p><br/></p><p>Beneath it was a chilling sentence:</p><p><br/></p><p>“One family will survive. The other will disappear.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara's hands trembled.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Who wrote this?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Amara, you need to leave.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Why?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Because Daniel's father is coming home.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara froze.</p><p><br/></p><p>“He returned yesterday.”</p><p><br/></p><p>She rushed toward the door, but Daniel's mother stopped her.</p><p><br/></p><p>“There is something Daniel never told you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“What?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Her eyes filled with fear.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Daniel wasn't the first Cole to fall in love with you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara turned.</p><p><br/></p><p>“What?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Before she could ask more, the front door opened.</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel's father walked in.</p><p><br/></p><p>He looked directly at Amara.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then smiled.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I've been waiting nineteen years to meet you again.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Amara's blood ran cold.</p><p><br/></p><p>TO BE CONTINUED…</p>
