CHAPTER 4: THE TRUTH DESTROYED EVERYTHING

Liam confronted Claire the next morning.
"Did Dad abandon me?"
Claire burst into tears.
"Liam, it's complicated."
"Yes or no?"
Claire couldn't answer.
That was answer enough.
Liam left the house and called Nathan.
"Dad... can we talk?"
Nathan drove six hours without stopping.
When they finally met, neither knew what to say.
Then Liam hugged him.
And both of them started crying.
Months later, the court ruled again.
Nathan was awarded shared custody.
Claire lost significant assets after evidence of financial misconduct surfaced.
Derek left her shortly afterward.
But Claire's punishment wasn't over.
She lost the trust of the person she loved most.
