Chapter 0652

Peter rushed back to Valentia from Slovenia, while Alden’s flight also made its return. Although parts of their plan regarding Leonardo and Frank were falling into place, they hadn’t anticipated Leonardo’s fixation on Serenity-

let alone his interest in Maurice.

At the Bartz residence, chaos reigned. Valerie, overwhelmed by the pressure, suffered a nervous breakdown and had to be taken to the hospital by Camille. Her fragile condition, compounded by the danger to her unborn twins, put everyone on edge.

At the police station, Marcus Bartz sat in silence as the charges against him were read aloud. He was accused of kidnapping the infamous Judge Frank Levett, who had been presumed missing for years. Among the atrocities listed were cutting off Levett’s pinky finger, gouging out art eye, burning his eyes with acid, cutting out his tongue, and removing his vocal cords.

Listening to the accusations, Marcus’s mind raced. He knew he hadn’t committed the later acts, which led him to

discreet suspect that Frank’s son might have been involved. He called his lawyer and requested a separate, investigation into what had happened to Frank after Marcus’s last visit to the nursing home.

What weighed most heavily on Marcus’s heart wasn’t his own future but Valerie’s last expression before he was taken away. She now knew the full extent of his dark past, and the stress of such revelations could endanger her and their unborn children.

“Marcus, she’ll be fine. Focus on getting out of here,” his lawyer urged. “I’ll do everything possible to secure your release. I’ll try to file an injunction, and then we’ll work on your defense. I’ll investigate everything thoroughly and shift this in your favor. But I need you to stay focused.”

“How can I focus? Valerie my wife–just found out about all this. Do you know what she must be feeling right now? What she’s going through?”

I do know she’s strong, and she’ll come to understand why you did
