Chapter 6: The Hidden Child
Clara opened the letter with trembling hands.
Inside was another photograph.
A young girl.
About the same age as her daughter.
On the back were four words:
âShe is still alive.â
Clara felt the world stop.
Daniel immediately called the investigator.
Within hours, they discovered the truth.
Years ago, the grandmother had hidden another child.
A child who could expose everything.
A child who knew the familyâs darkest secrets.
They found her living under a different name.
Her name was Lily.
When Clara met herâŠ
She immediately recognized the eyes.
The same eyes as Daniel.
The same eyes as her daughter.
Lily looked at Clara.
âAre you my family?â
Clara cried.
âYes.â
She hugged the child.
âYou always were.â
But Lily whispered something terrifying.
âShe told me never to tell anyone what happened.â
âWho?â
The girl looked behind Clara.

âGrandma.â
