“The doctor you hired already confessed to federal investigators this morning.”
Within an hour federal agents arrived.
Eric and Jason Maddox were arrested for conspiracy, fraud, and murder.
Cameras captured everything.
That evening Victoria drove alone to the county detention center where Logan was being held.
When the guard brought him into the visiting room, he still wore the black cloth over his face.
“They arrested your brothers,” she said softly.
Logan studied her through the narrow opening.
“I thought they might destroy themselves eventually,” he said.
“You trusted me to figure it out,” she said.
“I trusted the woman who chose honesty over comfort,” Logan replied.
She leaned forward.
“The charges against you are already falling apart,” she told him. “The evidence was fabricated.”
Logan was silent for a moment.
“Why fight so hard for me?” he asked.
Victoria held his gaze.
“Because I finally understand who you are.”
The next day Logan Maddox walked out of the detention center as a free man.
Reporters gathered outside hoping to see his mysterious face, but he kept it covered.
That evening they returned to the quiet courtyard of the estate.
Logan slowly removed the cloth.
