Chapter 8 - The Secret Behind My Missing Wife
I asked Harper where Natalie was now.
Her expression changed.
“Mommy’s waiting outside.”
My heart began racing.
“Outside the hotel?”
She nodded.
“She was scared to come in.
She said you might be angry.”
I looked toward the entrance.
“Why would she think that?”
Harper lowered her voice.
“Because Grandma showed her pictures of you and Vanessa.
She told Mommy you were happier without us.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
Diane covered her face.
“Graham, I only wanted you to move forward.”
“By keeping my wife and daughter away from me?”
“Your marriage was falling apart!”
“Then you should have let us decide what happened to it.”
Vanessa suddenly spoke.
“Your mother didn’t do everything alone.”
The words escaped before she could stop them.
Everyone turned toward her.
Diane stared at Vanessa.
“Don’t say another word.”
