“Daddy, I wrote everything down because I thought you wouldn’t believe me.””

I took the paper.

My hands were shaking.

There were childish words written in uneven handwriting.

But one sentence made my entire body go cold.

*The day Daddy leaves for work, Victoria says I am not really his daughter anymore.*

I looked up.

Victoria was crying.

But this time, I didn’t know if it was guilt.

Or fear.

Because underneath Mia’s handwriting was another message.

One I hadn’t noticed before.

Written in darker pencil.

A name.

A name that didn’t belong in my house.

May you like

A name that changed everything.

*Daniel.*
