For the next two hours they treated my silence like surrender. Marjorie ordered staff members to bring boxes while Grant followed me from room to room making little comments meant to humiliate me. \u201cLeave the silver frames,\u201d he said casually. \u201cThose are family property.\u201d I ignored him and carefully packed a photograph of Daniel carrying Eli on his shoulders in the rain, both of them laughing so hard their faces blurred. Grant stepped into the doorway blocking my path. \u201cDid you hear me?\u201d he asked. \u201cI heard you,\u201d I replied without looking up. He studied me for a moment before smiling thinly. \u201cDaniel always thought your silence meant class. I knew it meant calculation.\u201d Behind me, Eli shifted nervously, clutching his dinosaur tighter against his chest.<\/p>\n

Something inside me hardened then. Not anger. Something colder. More focused. I knelt beside Eli and zipped up his backpack carefully. \u201cGo sit by the front window, sweetheart,\u201d I whispered. \u201cCount the cars outside for me.\u201d His eyes widened nervously. \u201cBut Mom\u2014\u201d \u201cTrust me.\u201d He nodded slowly and disappeared down the hallway. Grant watched him leave before speaking again. \u201cFunny thing is,\u201d he said lightly, \u201cDaniel never questioned certain details about you.\u201d I straightened slowly. \u201cYou should be very careful with your next sentence,\u201d I told him. He laughed under his breath. \u201cOr what?\u201d I didn\u2019t answer. I simply walked past him toward Daniel\u2019s study.<\/p>\n

The room had already been searched. Drawers were half-open, paperwork scattered across the desk, cabinet doors hanging unevenly. But one thing remained untouched\u2014the small safe hidden behind Daniel\u2019s framed business diploma. Months earlier Daniel had stood in this exact room after an argument with his mother and quietly told me, \u201cIf anything ever happens to me, don\u2019t panic. Don\u2019t fight them. Just watch carefully.\u201d My fingers trembled as I entered the code. The safe clicked open. Inside sat a sealed envelope, a flash drive, and Daniel\u2019s watch. I grabbed all three just as Grant appeared behind me. \u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d he demanded sharply. \u201cSomething you missed,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n

His confidence cracked instantly. \u201cGive it to me.\u201d He reached toward my arm, but I stepped back before he could touch me. Then Eli\u2019s voice suddenly echoed from downstairs. \u201cMom!\u201d Headlights flooded through the front windows. One car. Then another. Doors slammed outside. The front entrance opened, and a tall woman stepped calmly into the foyer carrying a leather briefcase. Marjorie\u2019s face drained of color. \u201cClara?\u201d she whispered. Clara Rhodes\u2014Daniel\u2019s attorney\u2014looked directly at me. \u201cLena,\u201d she said steadily. \u201cDo you have it?\u201d I nodded once. And beside me, Grant finally looked afraid-\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
