Thomas Riley was imprisoned for three years in exchange for ten million to protect Madison Hayes. Adam Collins embezzled money and deceived Madison by claiming that Thomas had betrayed with the money. Three years later, Madison used this funding to turn things around and subjected Thomas, who was terminally ill, to various tortures. Thomas concealed the truth until his death, quietly left after paying off his final debt, and waited alone for death. Madison eventually knew everything, but deeply regretted it.
