Chapter 5 - THE LETTER EMILY NEVER SENT

I opened the letter with trembling hands.

It was from Emily.

My wife.

The woman I lost.

The woman whose sister I trusted.

The letter was unfinished.

Emily had written:

“Daniel, something about Kate worries me.”

I stopped breathing.

The next lines were scratched out.

Someone had tried to erase them.

But the words were still visible.

“Please don’t leave Lily alone with her.”

I looked at Kate.

She was standing in the doorway.

Watching me.

“You knew.”

My voice barely came out.

Kate didn’t deny it.

Instead, she said something I never expected.

“Emily always thought she was better than me.”

That was when I understood.

This was never about my children.

It was about resentment.

May you like

Jealousy.

And revenge.
