Chapter 3: The Basement Apartment
Alexander refused to wait.
He took Sophia and drove straight to the apartment where she lived with Lauren.
The place wasn’t just poor.
It was barely livable.
A dark basement.
Mold on the walls.
Broken furniture.
A leaking ceiling.
Alexander stood frozen.
This was where his daughter had been living.
While he was buying luxury cars.
While he was attending billionaire charity events.
While he believed he was protecting her.
Sophia walked to the kitchen.
“Mommy saves the good food for me.”
Alexander looked inside the refrigerator.
Almost empty.
Then he saw something on the table.
A stack of unopened letters.
All addressed to him.
His name.
His company.
His hands trembled.
“Why didn’t I receive these?”
Sophia looked confused.
“Grandma said Daddy didn’t want letters.”
Alexander opened one.
And his world collapsed.
Because the letter was from Lauren.
Three years old.
