Chapter 2: The Paper She'd Been Saving

Part 2 ⬇️

The room went dead silent.

Vanessa stood there holding her cheek, eyes wide — not with shame, but with rage.

"You're going to regret that," she said.

Low.

Quiet.

Like a warning.

I didn't answer.

I just held Lily tighter.

Then Vanessa turned to the guests and laughed — actually laughed — and said, "You all saw that.

He h\*t me.

Over a piece of cake."

A few people looked away.

Some pulled out their phones.

My sister stepped forward and said, "Vanessa.

Leave."

But Vanessa didn't move.

She reached into her bag and pulled out a folded piece of paper.

She held it up like she'd been waiting for this moment.

"You really want to end this?" she said.

"Fine.

But you should know — I've already spoken to a lawyer.

And there are things about you, about your finances, that Lily's school is going to find very interesting."

The air left the room.

My hands went cold.

Because I knew exactly what she was talking about.

And if that paper said what I thought it said — Lily wasn't the only one in danger.

What Vanessa was holding in that paper changed everything.

The full story — and what happened to Lily — is in the link below.
