Chapter 5 - The Folder
Julian waited until everyone left.
Then he opened the office.
The blue folder was still there.
He found the DNA paperwork.
But the report was incomplete.
Someone had removed the final page.
Instead, there was a handwritten note.
JULIAN IS NOT THE PERSON THEY THINK HE IS.
He stared at it.
Then he heard footsteps.
Chloe stood in the doorway.
“Close the folder.”
Julian didn't.
“You knew.”
“I suspected.”
“Why didn't you tell me?”
“Because Dad threatened me.”
Julian turned.
“With what?”
Chloe's eyes filled with tears.
“He said if I told you, Elena would disappear before the wedding.”
Julian went still.
“Disappear?”
Chloe nodded.
“They weren't trying to stop the marriage.”
“What were they trying to do?”
Chloe looked toward the hallway.
“They wanted Elena gone before she could give birth.”
Julian's face changed.
“Why?”
“I don't know.”
He stepped closer.
“Then tell me what you do know.”
Chloe whispered.
“The DNA test wasn't ordered because of the baby.”
She pointed toward the folder.
“It was ordered because of you.”
Julian looked at the missing page.
