Chapter 4 - THE DOCUMENT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

Rachel stared at the screen.

“What is that paper?”

Nobody answered.

The agent zoomed in.

It was a guardianship agreement.

But something was wrong.

The signature was incomplete.

Emily was not legally Victoria’s responsibility.

She had been hidden.

Controlled.

And isolated.

Rachel turned toward David.

“You knew.”

David looked broken.

“I thought I could fix it.”

Rachel laughed bitterly.

“You watched a child suffer and called it fixing?”

David lowered his head.

Victoria suddenly shouted.

“Enough!”

Everyone looked at her.

For the first time.

Victoria looked afraid.

“You don’t know anything about that girl.”

Rachel stepped closer.

“Then tell me.”

Victoria froze.

Rachel continued.

“Who is Emily?”

The room became silent.

Then Emily whispered.

“My mommy said they would find me.”

Rachel turned around.

“What did you say?”

The girl held the blanket tighter.

“My mommy said Victoria would never let them know where I was.”

Everyone froze.

Because Emily’s mother was supposed to be dead.
