Chapter 15 - The Name Removed From The Folder

I held the empty page in my hand.
Someone had carefully removed it.
Not torn.
Not damaged.
Removed.
That meant someone knew exactly what they were hiding.
Candice watched me.
For the first time, she looked less like a criminal trying to escape.
And more like someone terrified of another person.
Lucas noticed it too.
“Dad…”
He pointed toward the old photo inside the folder.
The one showing Candice and Wyatt.
But now I saw something I missed before.
A third person standing behind them.
Someone whose face had been covered.
I turned the photo over.
Written on the back was a date.
The same date my first wife died.
My hands went cold.
May you like
Because beneath the date was one sentence.
“I was never the first widow they targeted.”
