Chapter 4 - Sienna Returned With a Secret About the Night Claire Gave Birth—and It Changed Who Could Be TrustedSienna contacted me privately.
She wanted to meet.
I refused.
Then she sent a photograph.
A hospital corridor.
The night Rose was born.
Sienna had been there.
I stared at the image.
Why?
She claimed she had discovered Grant's father's plan.
She said he intended to take the baby if I survived.
Sienna had helped stop him.
I didn't know whether to believe her.
Dominic did not trust her.
Grant did not either.
But she had evidence.
A video.
Grant's father discussing the plan.
The video showed Diane.
And another man.
My doctor.
The doctor who had told me the baby might not survive.
My stomach turned.
The doctor had been paid.
He had planned to falsify records.
Sienna had secretly recorded the conversation.
Why?
Because she had been afraid of Grant's father too.
The conspiracy was larger than anyone knew.
Sienna gave us evidence.
In return, she asked for protection.
Dominic arranged it.
Sienna entered witness protection.
Grant's father was arrested.
The trial became one of the biggest financial scandals in the city.
Grant testified.
I testified.
Dominic did not seek revenge.
He stayed beside me.
When I finished testifying, he said,
“You were brave.”
I smiled.
“So were you.”
“No.”
He shook his head.
“I was terrified.”
“You didn't look it.”
“Because you were beside me.”
My heart skipped.
That night, we sat together while Rose slept.
Grant called.
“Can I see her tomorrow?”
I looked at Dominic.
Then answered.
“Yes.”
Grant was slowly becoming a father.
Not just biologically.
Emotionally.
He came early.
He stayed late.
He learned.
And I began to forgive him.

Not because I forgot.
Because I saw him change.
