Chapter 2: The Name in the Email
Part 2 👇
Daniel grabbed my arm the moment we stepped outside.
"How long have you known?" he demanded.
"Long enough," I said.
His grip tightened.
"Tell me who he is."
I looked down at his hand on my arm, then back up at his face.
He let go.
Vanessa had followed us out.
Her eyes were red, but not from crying — from fear.
She was calculating.
I could see it.
She was already deciding what version of this story kept her safest.
"Claire, I can explain—" she started.
"I know his name, Vanessa.
I know his position at the company.
And I know exactly when it started."
The color left her face.
Daniel turned to her slowly.
"What is she talking about?"
Vanessa said nothing.
That silence told him everything.
"It's someone I know," he said.
Not a question.
His voice dropped to something quiet and dangerous.
"Who is it?"
I picked up my bag and walked toward my car.
"Daniel," I said without turning around.
"Check your company email tonight.
I sent you something this morning.
I've been waiting for the right moment for you to open it."
I heard him call my name twice.
I didn't stop.

What Claire sent to that email changed everything — and exposed a betrayal even deeper than the affair.
