Chapter 9 - Emily Was Not Just Manipulated

For days, Emily told everyone Mark had pressured her.

That was partly true.

It was not the whole truth.

The cameras showed Emily repeatedly helping.

She moved documents.

Opened mail.

Found my old signature cards.

Scheduled the notary.

She even told Mark which afternoons I was most tired after physical therapy.

“I thought Dad would agree eventually,” she said.

Rachel answered:

“You planned around when he was weakest.”

Emily collapsed into tears.

I wanted to rescue her.

That instinct had ruined too much already.

So I did not.

I let the truth remain uncomfortable.
