Chapter 5 — A Daughter's Betrayal

Chapter 5 — A Daughter's Betrayal
That evening...
Paige knocked on my office door.

She looked like she hadn't slept.
"I need to tell you something."
She handed me a flash drive.
"I recorded them."
My heartbeat slowed.
"When?"
"The night Miriam convinced Nathan."
"You... what?"
"I thought they were bluffing."
Tears rolled down her face.
"Then I realized they weren't."
Inside the drive...
Everything.
Every conversation.
Every instruction.
Every detail.
Including Miriam saying—
"If Evelyn survives..."
"We finish the job."
Donovan looked at me.
"This ends today."
I nodded.
May you like
"No."
"It begins today."
