Chapter 8 - Ryan Demands The Brutal Truth From His Wife
Ryan sat across from his wife at the polished oak kitchen table, his jaw clenched so hard his teeth ached.
“Start talking, Jessica. And skip the lies because I’ve already seen what’s hidden inside our walls,” Ryan said icily.
Jessica stared down at her wedding ring, twisting the diamond band around her finger with shaking hands.
“Four years ago, when I gave birth to Lily... the hospital records only showed one baby,” Jessica began in a broken whisper.
“Don't feed me hospital administrative nonsense. Maya is clearly Lily’s twin sister,” Ryan interrupted, slamming his palm on the wood.
“She is! But a powerful man—someone from my past before I met you—threatened to take my children if I didn't comply,” she cried.

“What powerful man? Who are you talking about, Jessica?” Ryan demanded, leaning across the table.
“My ex-fiancé, Arthur Sterling. He’s a corrupt federal judge with ties to corporate syndicates in New York,” she confessed in terror.
