I shook my head.

“And your accident?”

Christopher went still.

“What about it?”

“You said it was a car crash.”

I remembered the name from his nightmares.

“Why?”

“Because Marcus took control of certain company assets after my accident.”

“Assets connected to your father?”

“Yes.”

I looked at the black folder.

“And Ryan?”

Christopher hesitated.

“I think Marcus knows where he is.”

My heart slammed.

“You think Ryan is alive?”

“I don’t know.”

“That’s not what I asked.”

Christopher’s eyes held mine.
