Chapter 11 - THE OTHER WOMAN
Her name was Claire Bennett.
She lived in Flagstaff.
She had a seven-year-old daughter.
Derek's daughter.
Gaby had never known they existed.
Claire's story was terrifyingly familiar.
Derek had charmed her.
Brenda had welcomed her.
Then came control.
Documents.
Threats.
A lost property.
Claire escaped before they could take more.
When she learned what happened to Gaby, she whispered:
“He did it again.”
But Claire remembered something important.
Years earlier, Brenda once told Derek:
“Never keep anything dangerous in a bank.”
“Where did she keep it?” Rebecca asked.
Claire hesitated.
Then she remembered.
May you like
“The lake house.”
That was the first real path leading directly to Brenda.
