Chapter 10 - Finding The Late Mother’s Missing Personal Safety Journal
Daniel unlatched the steel lockbox using a universal key he kept from old filing cabinets in the attic.
Inside lay Sarah’s missing antique diamond necklace, glowing softly beneath the overhead closet light.
Beneath the jewelry rested a small leather-bound notebook bearing Sarah’s unmistakable handwriting on the cover page.
“Personal Safety Journal – If anything happens to me, look at Claire,” the title page read in bold ink.
Daniel’s hands trembled as he flipped open the pages, reading terrifying entries written weeks before Sarah’s fatal fire.
“Claire has been watching our house, following me to the grocery store, and leaving threatening notes in my mailbox.”
“She told me Daniel belongs to her and that accidents happen very easily to mothers who refuse to step aside.”

He had dismissed her paranoia as postpartum anxiety, a tragic mistake that cost his first wife her life.
