The second page of the documents was a nightmare, shattering Lauren’s understanding of her father’s cruelty. He was a monster, devouring everything in his path.
He had murdered Alice’s father.
He had stolen Alice’s kidney and forced her to raise his mistress’s child.
He had framed Elliot, now imprisoned for embezzlement and tax evasion.
And Lauren herself, her future destroyed, her body crippled.
Her fists clenched the papers, nails digging into her palms until they bled.
Lauren thought, Beast! David is such a dirty rat.
Though Alice and Elliot had wronged her, they too were victims of his schemes. All three had suffered, while David remained unscathed.
She thought to herself, It wasn’t fair. Why should a man so vile enjoy endless wealth and freedom abroad?
Hatred consumed her, wild and uncontrollable. She wanted him to suffer, to pay for every sin.
Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself and turned to the next page.
Her eyes widened in shock, then glee.
She thought, Haha, Hahaha, justice at last! David, your reckoning is here.
The third page’s first line struck like thunder,
“When Alice became pregnant with her second child, Alice’s father secretly sterilized David.”
Her eyes bulged as she thought to herself, This meant David couldn’t have fathered Sharon’s children. His “love children” were a lie. Sharon’s two children weren’t his. The irony was staggering. All his scheming, only to raise another man’s offspring.
Eagerly, she read on, desperate to know who the real father was.
When she saw “George,” her breath caught.
Lauren thought, George? Willow’s driver? I remembered him well, among the Bennett household staff, he had been the cruelest to me. I’d thought it was because I threatened Willow’s status, but now I understood, he was Willow’s biological father.
The plot thickened, and Lauren couldn’t wait to uncover more.
She thought, Gael, the ex–special forces soldier, had done a thorough job. He’d uncovered not only David’s secrets but also those of Sharon and her husband, George Swift, formerly called George Doyle.
