Shattered Silence: Five Years Lost

Summary

"I arranged the kidnapping," he says, his voice as smooth as glass. "I was right there in the alley when they shoved you into the van."

My entire body goes rigid. Before I can process the words, my older brother, Elias, the wealthiest real estate mogul in Chicago, chimes in.

"I put up the cash for it."
