Chapter 9 - Jessica Confesses A Dark Past Encumbered By Deceit
Jessica wiped her tear-stained cheeks, explaining the terrifying nightmare that had dictated her life for four long years.
“When Arthur found out I was pregnant with twins, he demanded absolute control over their futures for his political dynasty,” she said.
“I fled across state lines while pregnant, but he tracked me down right after the delivery at the suburban clinic,” Jessica continued.
“The doctors told me one twin died from complications, but I smuggled Maya out through a back exit with the help of a nurse,” she sobbed.
“And you hid her inside our house instead of going to the police or telling your own husband?!” Ryan shouted in disbelief.
“Arthur has dirty cops and judges in his pocket! If he found out Maya survived, he would have destroyed us both!” she defended.
