CHAPTER 4 — THE WOMAN WHO STOLE A LIFE

The document revealed everything.

Thirty years ago, Richard’s first wife gave birth to a daughter.

Emma.

But Victoria wanted control of the Whitmore fortune.

She convinced everyone the baby had died.

Then she secretly gave Emma to another family.

Richard discovered the truth years later.

But before he could expose Victoria…

She poisoned him.

Or at least she tried.

Richard survived and disappeared to gather evidence.

Now he returned.

And the evidence was enough.

Victoria was finally exposed.

But Daniel still refused to accept reality.

“You are saying my wife is my sister?”

Richard looked at him sadly.

“No.”

“Victoria lied about everything.”

Daniel realized the horrifying truth.

His entire marriage had been built on a lie.

Emma looked at him with pain.

“You knew about the plan to kill me.”

Daniel lowered his eyes.

“I was afraid…”

Emma laughed bitterly.

“You were afraid?”

“You watched your own wife fall from a balcony.”

Daniel had no answer.

Then police entered the hospital room.

Victoria’s face changed.

Because they were not there for Daniel.

They were there for her.
