Nadia closed the box up again as soon as she realized what she was actually looking at. She just expected to find old chess pieces that she and her father had played with so much when she was younger.

But that could not have been further from the truth…

She knew she needed to call somebody. But who? The police would most likely confiscate the chess set as evidence, and that was the last thing Nadia wanted. This box was the last physical thing she had left of her father.

But if he was able to keep this hidden for so long, did she even really know him at all…?

One day, as she was cleaning her attic, she found something that brought a smile to her face. It was the one thing that she had inherited from her dad: his old chess box. He loved playing chess and even taught Nadia to play as well.

She smiled as she remembered him and the games they played when she was a kid.
