Chapter 3 - Victoria Knew Anna Was Alive
Security moved Victoria into a private room.
Daniel followed only after Ethan was checked by a medic.
Anna came too.
Victoria refused to sit.
“This is absurd.”
Anna held up the pendant.
“You remember this?”
Victoria’s expression hardened.
Daniel looked between them.
Victoria had been Claire’s aunt.
The woman who raised Claire after her mother died.
Daniel had known that much.
What he had never known was that Claire’s mother had two daughters.
Claire.
And Anna.
After a house fire when the girls were young, Anna was sent to foster care while Claire went to live with Victoria.
Claire was told Anna died from complications after the fire.
Anna was told Claire’s new family did not want contact.
Both stories were false.

Victoria had been the bridge between them.
And she had burned it.
