Chapter 2: She Knows About Selina
PART 2
Julian was still charging toward me when I said the first word.
He stopped dead at the edge of the pool — frozen — like a man who suddenly realized he had no idea what I knew.
And that terrified him more than anything I could have screamed.
"Two years ago," I said into the microphone, my voice completely calm, "while I was in the hospital recovering from giving birth to our son…
Julian was not sitting beside me."
A ripple moved through the crowd.
Someone gasped.
"He told me he had an emergency work meeting." I let that land.
"There was no meeting."
Julian's brother Marcus went completely still.
Selina — perfect, elegant Selina — slowly turned her face away from the crowd.
That was the moment I knew I had the right people looking guilty.
"I found the hotel receipt three weeks ago," I continued.
"I found the messages.
And I found the name."
Julian lunged forward.
"Stop — you don't understand what you're—"
"I understand everything, Julian."
The microphone was steady in my hand.
My voice did not shake once.
Then my mother-in-law stood up from her chair near the garden.
Her face was ash-white.
She looked not at me — but directly at Marcus.
And she said four words so quietly I almost missed them.
"She knows about Selina."

What really happened in that hotel room — and why does his own mother look guilty?
The full truth is darker than anyone at that party expected.
