Chapter 2: Six Words That Changed Everything

Part 2 ⬇️

I stood at that locked door for exactly three seconds.

Then I pulled out my phone and opened the notification that had stopped my heart upstairs.

It was a message from a number I didn't recognize.

Six words.

*"I have everything.

Call me.

— R."*

My hands weren't shaking.

That surprised me.

I knew what "everything" meant.

I had suspected for four months.

But seeing it confirmed, on my wedding day, in that locked room — something inside me didn't break.

It hardened.

I called the number.

A woman answered on the first ring.

"Chloe," she said quietly.

"I'm Rebecca.

I was Derek's fiancée before you.

He doesn't know I kept the documents."

I sat down on the edge of the bed.

"What documents?"

"The property transfers.

The ones he made his last two girlfriends sign before he had them removed.

There's a lawyer's name on all of them." She paused.

"The same lawyer who drafted your prenup."

The room felt very small suddenly.

Downstairs, I could hear Brenda laughing.

"Rebecca," I said slowly.

"Where are you right now?"

She said one sentence that made me stand straight up.
