The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1890

Mentioning the first base always brought Wyatt back to the thought that Mr. Maverick was actually King. It was clear now that everything that had happened in the last few days was part of a well-laid plan. Yet, Mr. Maverick's real motive remained a mystery. Wyatt wore a serious expression, hoping more than anything that Trevor was safe.

He took a deep breath and glanced over his shoulder at James in the backseat, as if seeking his take on the situation.

“Keep going,” James said, his voice steady and calm. The stranger things got, the more it seemed like they were headed in the right direction.

Wyatt nodded, pushing the SUV onward and using the communicator to urge the team trailing them to stay close.

For a while, the car was silent until Mirabella broke the quiet. “Have you ever been inside the secret room at the first base?” she asked Miles.

“Yeah, once... It was a total fluke that year,” he replied.

Back then, Miles was almost turned into a lab rat by the first base. Saved by the godfather, he had stumbled upon that secret room, spending an entire day and night there before managing to escape. That’s why his memory of the place was so vivid.

“Besides the map you mentioned, what else was in there?” Mirabella asked. She’d never set foot in that secret room but had a hunch it held the key to the first base's secrets.

“There was a stone platform,” Miles recalled. “Not much else, really. Pretty plain, but I remember a sunken round hole in the center, like some kind of key slot. No idea if there’s more to it.”

At the time, Miles was more focused on staying alive than unraveling mysteries.

Mirabella listened, absentmindedly fiddling with her jacket collar, her thoughts whirling. The map likely pointed to the route to the clan, and the stone platform and key… these seemed to tie back to the Stevenson family.

Miles, catching a glimpse of the godfather's silence in the rearview mirror, spoke up again, “Want me to get someone to dig into that secret room once we have a signal?”

Mirabella snapped back to the moment and, after a short pause, shook her head. “No need.”

The answer was hidden in the Stevenson family's forbidden grounds and would soon come to light.
