Chapter 2 - THE SECRET INSIDE THE PENTHOUSE

The FBI agent standing near the entrance watched every reaction.

He had seen criminals panic before.

But this was different.

The adults were afraid of the child.

Not the investigation.

The agent looked at Emily.

“Sweetheart, can you tell me what happened?”

Emily opened her mouth.

Then she stopped.

Her eyes moved toward Victoria.

Rachel immediately stepped between them.

“No one is going to hurt you.”

Emily whispered.

“She gets angry when I tell the truth.”

Victoria immediately interrupted.

“That is ridiculous.”

Rachel turned sharply.

“Then why is she scared to speak?”

Victoria forced a laugh.

“She’s just confused.”

But the agent noticed something.

A small bruise near Emily’s wrist.

Not fresh.

But impossible to ignore.

“Who caused that?”

The room went silent.

Emily pulled her sleeve down.

David’s expression changed.

Rachel saw it.

He knew something.

“You know what happened to her.”

David looked away.

“I was trying to protect my family.”

Rachel shook her head.

“No.”

“You were protecting a secret.”

The agent stepped closer.

“Mr. David, you need to explain.”

David looked toward Victoria.
