Chapter 1: The Day the Pool Told the Truth

My new wife said my three-year-old daughter slipped into the pool.

The security camera told the truth.

I heard Sophie screaming before I even reached the backyard.

She was struggling in the water, crying for me.

I pulled her out while she coughed and clung to my shirt.

Vanessa stood beside the pool and said it was an accident.

But Sophie shook her head.

"She pushed me."

Then my little girl whispered something that made the whole yard go silent:

"She said Mommy can't come back if I'm gone."

Sophie's mother Rachel had d*ed two years earlier.

At least, that was what I believed.

When I checked the patio camera, it showed Vanessa deliberately pushing Sophie into the pool.

Then I heard the woman on Vanessa's call.

Sophie pointed at the voice and said, "That's Mommy."

Sophie just said "That's Mommy" — and Rachel was supposed to be g*ne.
