Following the Lies
Mark trailed Emily down the street, staying several paces behind.
His heart pounded as he watched her turn into a part of town he hadn’t heard her mention in years.
She met a man in a gray suit outside a café. They didn’t hug — but they stood too close.
Their voices were low, tense, but Mark could make out a few words: “transfer,” “insurance,” and “he can’t know.”
His blood ran cold.
Was she hiding money? Cheating? Or was this something far darker?
The Hidden Truth
Mark hurried home before Emily returned, pretending to still be resting when she came back.
That night, he lay awake beside her, listening as she sent messages in the dark.
The next morning, while Emily was showering, Mark finally did something he hadn’t dared in years: he picked up her phone.
What he found changed everything.
Dozens of messages — between Emily and a man named “Dr. C.”
They weren’t love notes. They were plans.
Plans about Mark.
About keeping him blind.
