Chapter 2 - Confronting Victoria About The Secret Phone Call
The silence inside the luxury bridal suite felt heavy enough to crush glass.
Daniel kept his phone pressed to his ear, his eyes locked onto Victoria’s rigid posture across the room.
“Are you still there, Mr. Mercer?” the attorney’s voice asked through the static.
“I’m here,” Daniel replied quietly, never breaking eye contact with the woman he was supposed to marry in ten minutes.
Victoria took a slow step backward, her manicured fingers gripping the back of a velvet sofa.
“Tell me everything Hannah wanted,” Daniel demanded, his voice dropping into a dangerous, icy register.
The attorney let out a long sigh on the other end of the line.
“She said Victoria forged financial documents to keep you separated and claimed your daughter was never adopted out.”
