CHAPTER 10: THE TRUTH
A few weeks later, I found out the truth about Daniel's family.
Megan had been embezzling money from her employer for years. She had been using Daniel as a cover, funneling money through his accounts to hide her tracks.
Daniel had known about it.
He had been complicit.
And when I had refused to give Megan access to my bank account, she had panicked.
She had convinced Daniel to hurt me.
It was never about the money.
It was about control.
Megan wanted to control me. Daniel wanted to control me. They both wanted to keep me small, silent, and obedient.
And when I had refused to play along, they had tried to break me.
They had failed.
I had survived.
And I had thrived.
I shared the truth with my lawyer. She passed it on to the authorities.
Megan's sentence was extended.

Daniel's was too.
And I felt a sense of justice I had never known before.
