Chapter 6 - THE MAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH

Rachel held the picture carefully.

“You knew her.”

David closed his eyes.

“Yes.”

The agent stepped closer.

“Who was she?”

David answered quietly.

“Emily’s mother.”

Rachel stared at him.

“Then why did you tell everyone she was gone?”

David looked destroyed.

“Because Victoria forced me.”

Victoria shouted.

“Don’t listen to him!”

But nobody believed her anymore.

David continued.

“She found out Emily existed.”

“She wanted control.”

Rachel looked at Emily.

The little girl was listening.

Every word hurting her.

The agent asked.

“Why would Victoria want control over a child?”

David hesitated.

Then he said something shocking.

“Because Emily inherited something.”

Rachel frowned.

“What?”

David looked at Victoria.

“A company.”

May you like

“A fortune.”

“And information that could destroy Victoria.”
