He caused a plane crash, killing Zander, and then imprisoned Valeria in the basement of the Gomez family's old house. Valeria eventually escaped with her son and never returned." Frey felt a shiver.

Nathaniel placed a large bouquet of white chrysanthemums on Jacob's tombstone. Once close friends, they were now separated by death.
He stood silently as his entourage watched quietly. It wasn't until dusk that Nathaniel left the cemetery.
