The Past

It was two days later when Maddison got a call from her grandfather. 

"She's ready to confess."

That was all Leo Salvarone had to say for Maddison to rush down with Elias by her side. Instead of the Salvarone family mansion, they were asked to head to a different location. An undisclosed location. 

Leo sent a vehicle to get them. They traveled almost an hour out of the city to a remote location that was heavily guarded. On the outside, it looked like an apartment building. But deep in the underground was a large network of private offices, rooms, and undisclosed storage spaced. 

Everyone who saw Maddison greeted her politely and with respect while treating Elias as if it was invisible. It was a new experience for the billionaire CEO, who was used to being the center of attention.
