Chapter 27 / 30
Chapter 27 - THE LETTER FROM PRISON Three weeks before the wedding, Claire received a letter.
From Ethan.
She almost threw it away.
Instead, she read it.
He did not ask for forgiveness.
For once.
He apologized to Lily.
He admitted jealousy had consumed him for years.
He admitted Richard had taught him that winning mattered more than goodness.
But one paragraph bothered Claire.
DAD LIED ABOUT JONATHAN.
NOT ABOUT KILLING HIM.
ABOUT WHY.
JONATHAN WASN’T GOING TO THE POLICE THAT NIGHT.
HE WAS GOING TO MEET SOMEONE.
ASK MOM ABOUT “ORPHEUS.”
Claire read the word twice.
Orpheus.
She locked the letter away.
Not now.

Her daughter deserved peace.
So did she.
