It was a moment of tranquillity amidst the chaos of their lives, a chance to share the depths of their pasts.As they sat there, their fingers entwined, Kathryn felt a sense of vulnerability wash over her.

Something about Michael."Mark's brow furrowed in confusion. Michael had always been an enigma to him, a figure from Kathryn's past that had caused nothing but pain.

As Mr. Allison settled into his seat at a cosy restaurant in the city with Emily, who had demanded to see him, after exchanging pleasantries, he found himself engaged in a conversation that would shake the very foundation of his beliefs."Mr Allison," Emily began hesitantly, her voice laced with a mix of concern and urgency, "I must speak with you about something of utmost importance. It involves your son, Michael."Mr Allison's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. "Michael? What about him?."Emily took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before continuing. "I understand your loyalty to your family, Mr Allison, but please hear me out. I have reason to believe that Michael has been orchestrating the past killings of the CEOs of The Class of Verity."Mr Allison's initial shock quickly transformed into anger.

As Mr Allison listened attentively to the voice recording, his heart sank deeper with each passing second. The chilling words that emanated from the speaker revealed a side of his son that he had never fathomed. Michael's voice, filled with cold detachment, discussed the death of one of the previous CEOs of The Class of Verity as if it were nothing more than a mere business transaction.In the recording, Michael's words carried an air of authority as he questioned someone over the phone about the successful execution of the assignment. It became evident that he had orchestrated the murder, having sent one of his associates to carry out the heinous act. The callousness in his voice sent shivers down Mr Allison's spine, leaving him devastated and bewildered.Tears welled up in Mr Allison's eyes as he grappled with the harsh reality before him. Michael, his flesh and blood, had descended into a dark abyss, unrecognizable from the son he had known. He had always been aware of Michael's

I know it's mine, and I demand to see my child."Kathryn's grip tightened around the phone as a rush of emotions flooded her. Anger, frustration, and the need to protect her child sur
As Mrs Allison walked through the door of their elegant home, her eyes scanned the room, instantly noticing the sombre expression etched upon her husband's face.

"You look troubled."Mr Allison turned to face his wife, his eyes filled with a mixture of pain and disbelief. He took her hands in his, his grip tightening as if seeking solace and support in her presence.
