Chapter 36

• “Today, a desperate man made his way to through the gates to our doorstep, pleading for mercy.” Sophia eyes were fixed on Julie’s journal entry as she read.
• “He begged for compensation for his demolished home, his family’s livelihood had been destroyed by our family’s greed. But instead of helping him, they called the guards to drag him away, like an animal…I saw the terror in his eyes as they threw him out, leaving him with nothing but the placard he had come in with. I saw and heard his pleas for justice, but I couldn’t do anything, especially when I was a prisoner in my own home.”
• Sophia felt a surge of anger as she read the words, the injustice burning in her mind. The Hamiltons were the worst, now she knew. Suddenly, the door burst open and Pierce stormed in, his eyes scanning her apartment.
