Ethan snatched the photo back.
“What are you talking about?”
Victoria looked terrified.
“I’ve seen this woman before.”
Silence.
Rain kept falling around them.
Ethan frowned.
“Where?”
Victoria swallowed hard.
“My father had this same photograph locked in his office.”
Ethan stared at her.
“What?”
The old woman’s face lost all color.
“No…”
Victoria slowly looked at her.
“My father used to say one thing every time he saw it…”
Her voice cracked.
“He said: ‘If this woman ever returns, everything disappears.'”
Ethan felt ice run through his body.
“What does that mean?”
The old woman started crying.
Twenty years of pain finally broke apart.
She looked directly into Ethan’s eyes.
“Because your father didn’t lose me…”
She shook her head.
“He paid people to take you away from me.”
Ethan stopped breathing.
Behind them, black luxury cars suddenly pulled up.
The doors opened.
Men in dark suits stepped out.
And one voice came from the shadows:
“Ethan… get in the car. Right now.”
