Chapter 2: The Perfect Husband
Thomas connected the flash drive to the ballroom projector.
One recording began to play.
Logan's voice filled the room.
"No one will believe you. They'll think you're emotional."
Another.
"If you leave me, you'll leave with nothing."
Another.
Security camera footage from their own home.
No violence.
Only enough to show Emily repeatedly trying to walk away while Logan blocked every doorway.
Guests slowly lowered their eyes.
Several recognized their own conversations with Logan.
The charming businessman.
The generous donor.
The devoted husband.
The man they thought they knew had never existed.
Then the final file appeared.
A private investigator's report.
Emily hadn't hired the investigator.
Thomas had.
Months earlier.
The report confirmed hidden gambling debts, forged business records, and multiple affairs Logan had concealed while controlling every aspect of Emily's finances.
Logan whispered,
"You had me followed?"
Thomas looked at him without emotion.
May you like
"No."
"I protected my daughter."
