The night your father and I decided to leave... Marco tried to stop us.
Rafael's eyes narrowed.
"Stop you?"
Aria continued reading.Not because he wanted to hurt us.Because he knew someone inside the council had already discovered our plan.Her breathing caught.
"So Marco knew..."
Noah looked at her.
"Knew what?"
Aria read aloud.
"Someone knew my parents were planning to escape."
The warehouse fell silent again.Aria stood beneath the dim light, Sophia's letter trembling between her fingers.
Rafael stood beside her.Noah remained a few steps away, watching her carefully.
Aria slowly continued reading.
My daughter...
If you are reading this, then you are old enough to know why your father and I made the choices we did.
Aria's breathing became shallow.We knew someone had discovered our plans.
Her eyes widened.Rafael's expression hardened.Aria continued.Jack and I wanted to leave the underworld.
