Chapter 2: Four Words From a Number I Didn't Know
Part 2 ⬇️
Michael's voice was calm.
That made it worse.
"Sit down," he said.
"Both of you."
Diane didn't move.
Ryan didn't speak.
I was still on the floor, one hand pressed to my stomach, trying to breathe through the pain.
Michael knelt beside me first.
"Can you stand?
We need to get you to a hospital."
"I'm scared to move," I whispered.
He helped me up slowly, then turned to Ryan with a look I had never seen on that man's face before.
"Your wife is bleeding.
And you're protecting your mother."
Ryan finally stood.
"Dad, you don't understand what's been going on—"
"I understand exactly what's been going on." Michael held up the phone.
"I've been recording this house for three weeks.
Ever since she told me what Diane said to her at Thanksgiving."
Diane's face went white.
"Michael—"
"Don't." His voice didn't rise.
It dropped.
"I heard the plan.
I heard you tell Ryan to bring her here tonight.
I heard what you said you wanted to happen."
The room went completely silent.
Then my phone buzzed on the table.
I looked at the screen.
It was a message from a number I didn't recognize.
Four words:
*"Get out.
Trust no one."*

What was in that recording — and who sent that message?
The full truth is darker than anyone expected.
