Chapter 1: The Phone Call at Midnight
Emma didn't cry during the drive home.
Not even after laying Noah gently in his bed.
She simply sat in the dark, staring at her wedding ring.
At exactly 12:17 a.m., her phone rang.
It was Lily.
Emma ignored it.
Then another call.
And another.
Finally, a text appeared.
"You have to listen. Daniel wasn't there because of me. Please... you're in danger."
Emma frowned.
Before she could reply, another notification appeared.
A photo.
It showed Daniel standing beside the same black luxury SUV she had noticed behind Lily's house.
But the driver wasn't Lily.
It was an older man Emma had never seen before.
The timestamp read three months earlier.
A chill ran down her spine.
