The older boy took another paper from his pocket.
It was a letter.
Daniel recognized Claire’s handwriting immediately.
He opened it.
Daniel.
If the boys have reached you, then I finally ran out of time.
Daniel continued reading.
Claire explained that after leaving him years earlier, she discovered she was pregnant.
Twins.
She had tried to contact Daniel.
But every message was returned.
Every call was blocked.
Daniel looked up.
The dark-haired woman had gone pale.
Her name was Victoria.
She had been Daniel’s family advisor for years.
Claire’s letter continued.
Victoria told me you wanted nothing to do with me or the babies.
Daniel’s eyes moved toward her.
Victoria shook her head.
Daniel, listen to me.
But he kept reading.
Claire had included copies of emails she believed came from Daniel.
Emails telling her to disappear.
Daniel knew immediately.
He had never written them.
The entire ballroom went silent.
Daniel looked directly at Victoria.
You did this.
