Chapter 2 - Nathaniel Confronts Vanessa About The Deadly Lies
The crystal chandelier above the grand Newport ballroom seemed to dim as the chilling truth settled over the room.
Nathaniel took two slow, rigid steps toward Vanessa, his blue eyes flashing with a terrifying, controlled fury.
“You told me she died in that yacht explosion off the coast of Maine five years ago, Vanessa,” Nathaniel said.
His voice was a low, dangerous whisper that cut through the silent, oppressive atmosphere like a razor-sharp blade.
Vanessa stumbled backward into a velvet-draped table, her manicured fingers trembling as she clutched her maroon silk gown.
“G-Garrison... I mean, Nathaniel, you saw the forensic reports! The Coast Guard confirmed everyone on board perished!” she stammered frantically.

Abigail slowly rose to her feet, pulling the two sobbing boys into her protective embrace while keeping her gaze locked on Vanessa.
“The Coast Guard report was falsified by your own corporate legal team, Vanessa, just like my medical records,” Abigail stated calmly.
