Chapter 13 - THE SECRETRichard contacted an investigator he trusted.
Three days later, the investigator returned with a file.
"There is something you need to see."
Inside was a photograph of Diane meeting a man at a private marina.
The man was not a lawyer.
Not a friend.
He was a private investigator.
And he had been following us for months.
But that wasn't the worst part.
The investigator had discovered Diane had been digging into my past.
My family.
My finances.
My childhood.
Everything.
"Why me?" I asked.
The investigator looked uncomfortable.
"Because she believes you have something she wants."
"What?"
He handed me another document.
A handwritten letter.
It had been written by Diane years earlier.
It mentioned a secret.
A secret involving Richard's family.
And an inheritance.
I stared at the page.
Then understood.
Diane wasn't fighting for love.
