Chapter 94

David POV

David sat at the same mahogany desk that had once been his. He had not changed much here. He had not wanted to. Some things were better left exactly as they were when everything fell apart.

His laptop was open. The screen showed the photo he had taken that afternoon in the three seconds it took Nora to turn and walk away with the little girl’s hand in hers. He had zoomed in just at the tight time.

Lucy.

Four years old. Five years since the hospital room went quiet except for the monitors and the sound of Nora screaming his name until they sedated her.

He studied the photo the way he used to study balance sheets before a hostile takeover. Methodical. Ruthless. Looking for the one detail that did not fit.

She looked like Nora.
