Chapter 11 - The Night Lily Told the TruthThat evening, Lily finally told the investigators everything.
Victoria had locked her in the basement.
Victoria had threatened her.
Victoria had told her that nobody would believe a little girl.
And Victoria had repeatedly talked about Clara.
“She said Mommy was stupid.”
Mark's eyes filled with tears.
“I'm sorry, sweetheart.”
Lily hugged him.
“You didn't know.”
That sentence destroyed him.
Because children should never have to comfort their parents.
“I should have protected you.”
“You're protecting me now.”
Mark held her tighter.
Across the room, Sarah watched them.
