Chapter 5: The Enemy Returns

The man stepped into the light.

His name was Victor Hale.

Claire’s first husband.

The man everyone believed was dead.

Daniel couldn’t move.

“How are you alive?”

Victor smiled.

“Your wife was always good at hiding things.”

Claire stepped in front of Emma.

“You stay away from my daughter.”

Victor laughed.

“Your daughter?”

He looked at Daniel.

“You really don’t know, do you?”

Daniel’s heart stopped.

“What are you talking about?”

Victor smiled.

“Ask Claire who Emma’s real father is.”

The room went completely silent.

Daniel slowly turned toward his wife.

Claire looked terrified.

But before she could explain, Ryan appeared behind Victor.

“You don’t get to hurt them again.”

Victor turned.

And for the first time, he looked afraid.
