Chapter 2: The Message From an Unknown Number

Part 2 ⬇️

The results showed something I never expected.

Grant wasn't Evelyn's biological son.

He had been conceived at the same clinic.

By the same doctor.

The man who had fathered Maddie — and more than twenty other children — had also fathered Grant.

That meant Evelyn knew exactly who that doctor was.

She had always known.

I sat at the kitchen table staring at the papers when Grant walked in.

"Rachel.

Put those down."

"He's your biological father," I said.

"The same man.

The same clinic.

Maddie is your half-daughter by blood, not just by law."

He didn't deny it.

"How long have you known?" I asked.

He looked away.

"My mother told me the night before our wedding."

I couldn't breathe.

"She told you before we were married and you still let her treat Maddie like she was nothing?"

"I didn't know about Maddie's connection until last year."

"Last year." I repeated it slowly.

"You've known for a year."

Then my phone buzzed on the table.

It was a message from an unknown number.

*Rachel.

Stop digging.

My mother has documents that could destroy more than just your marriage.

You don't know what she's capable of.*

I looked up at Grant.

He was already reading it over my shoulder — and he didn't look surprised.

What Evelyn has been hiding goes far deeper than anyone imagined.
