[Flashback]
When Anna returned home and didn't find Daniel, the maid informed her he was at the gym, working out. She had just turned toward the door, intent on going after him, when her phone buzzed in her hand.
A message from Shawn.
I found a photo of the man who was detained for kidnapping Kathrine.
Anna's breath caught.
Just one day—and Shawn had already delivered.
Her fingers trembled as she replied with a short Okay, then opened the folder he had sent. She tapped on the very first image.
The moment the photo loaded, her entire body went rigid.
The man staring back at her from the screen was unmistakable.
Daniel's father.
The same man Daniel had spoken about—accused of a crime he never committed. The man whose downfall had dragged his family into ruin. The man whose death had taken his wife with him.
The room seemed to tilt.
Her mind raced, piecing together fragments she had tried not to see.
