Chapter 7 - The Lies Collapse

There were hundreds of messages.

Late-night calls.

Secret hotel reservations.

Pictures.

Promises.

Plans.

Alex hadn't been protecting an old friend.

He had been protecting the woman he planned to return to.

Then I found one message dated only three days before the elevator accident.

Once everything settles... I'll tell my wife the truth.

Another message followed.

I wish we'd never divorced.

Valerie had replied.

Then stop lying to both of us.

For the first time...

I realized Valerie wasn't the villain.

She had been lied to...

May you like

Just like me.
