I couldn't breathe.
"You're in love with my husband?"
She nodded slowly.
"But he doesn't love me."
That didn't make it better.
It made it worse.
"So why help me now?" I asked bitterly.
Her answer shocked me.
"Because he never planned to keep either of us."
My chest tightened.
"What?"
"He was using both of us."
Silence filled the room.
"He told me he loved me," she continued quietly.
"But the messages I showed you… they're real."
The ground beneath my life felt unstable.
Daniel betrayed me.
Manipulated Amara.
Worked with my sister.
All for money.
And suddenly something terrifying crossed my mind.
"What if he's planning to disappear alone?"
Amara looked at me.
Fear in her eyes.
"That's exactly what I think."
Which meant one thing.
The birthday party wasn't just exposure.
It might be our only chance to stop him.
But deep down, another thought haunted me.
What if Daniel already had his own plan?
