Chapter 6 - THE PHONE THAT REVEALED THE TRUTH

The officer stared at the phone.

Then looked at me.

“Mr. Carter
”

Something about his voice made my stomach tighten.

“What?”

He turned the screen toward me.

There were dozens of messages.

Between Rachel and someone saved as “J.”

I read the latest one.

“Once he loses custody, everything will be easier.”

My blood went cold.

“Who is J?”

The officer scrolled.

More messages.

More plans.

More lies.

Rachel wasn’t just reacting.

She had been preparing.

She had been building a case against me.

The officer looked serious.

“Do you know this person?”

“No.”

Then another message appeared.

“I can’t wait until Daniel is gone.”

I stared at those words.

Gone.

Not divorced.

Not moved out.

Gone.

The police took the phone as evidence.

But I couldn’t stop thinking about one thing.

Who was Rachel working with?

That night, Sophie slept beside me.

She refused to go back to her room.

I didn’t blame her.

Around midnight, my phone buzzed.

Unknown number.

Again.

I answered.

A man’s voice spoke.

“You need to stop digging.”

I stood up.

“Who is this?”

“You’re asking the wrong questions.”

My grip tightened.

“What did you do to my family?”

A cold laugh.

Then the man said:

“Rachel wasn’t the only one watching your daughter.”

The call ended.

I stood there in the darkness.

And I finally understood.

Rachel wasn’t the entire story.

She was only one piece.

And whoever was behind this
