Evelyn, an antique painting restorer, stands stunned at an art special exhibition when Leonardo gets down on one knee to propose. Before she can answer, Lucas bursts in with a blade, spilling blood across the venue. Wind stirs an old guestbook, revealing faded brown handwriting written ten years prior: Leonardo, trust no one. A decade ago, Leonardo approached Evelyn solely to uncover the truth behind his father’s unsolved murder. Engraved pens, carved rings, ship tickets hidden inside painting frames—every clue leads to the shadow mastermind controlling the art foundation. Tiny star-folded candy wrappers unearth a fleeting encounter in a corridor twenty years ago, proving fate tied them long before they met. When the layers of conspiracy peel away, Leonardo faces an unthinkable nightmare: the killer he has hunted for ten years is his own father. With Ethan kidnapped, FBI agents lying in wait, and Arthur’s decade-long scheme reaching its climax, the final art exhibition becomes the stage for all revelations. The old guestbook is closed, marked with a new line on its cover: The truth is the greatest lie—but love is not. He has spent ten years chasing a murderer. What will he do, when the culprit is his blood father?
