Chapter 14 - Jessica Packed Her Designer Bags To Leave Forever
Inside the sterile room of the suburban motel, Jessica sat on the edge of the queen-sized bed staring at her phone.
Her screen lit up with an incoming call from an unlisted number originating in Washington, D.C.
She swallowed hard, her finger hovering over the green acceptance button before she finally answered the call.
“Jessica? Why haven't you sent your monthly status report on the child?” a cold, authoritative male voice demanded.
“It’s over, Arthur... Ryan found out everything. Child services and the police are already involved,” Jessica sobbed into the receiver.
A heavy, terrifying silence hung over the phone line for several agonizing seconds before the judge spoke again.

“You fool. You had one job—to keep that child buried alive,” Arthur hissed. “I’m flying in tonight, and I’m taking my daughter back.”
The line clicked dead, leaving Jessica trembling in the cold motel room as absolute terror consumed her soul.
