The letter explained everything.
My father, Daniel, was involved in massive investment fraud.
When my mother discovered it, he threatened to take me away forever.
She ran away with me that same night.
She took proof of his crimes as protection.
For three years, we lived quietly.
Until he found us.
“If you are reading this,” she wrote, “it means I didn’t make it home.”
She had only wanted to protect me.
