Stolen by my Dad best friend Chapter 56: The captor's Demand
Tessa's POVEvelyn's words played on repeat in my mind as Daven rushed us out of the hospital: *Your mother knew who was behind it. That's why they took her.*My mother. Alive somewhere. Hiding somewhere. Knowing the identity of the person responsible for everything, but choosing silence to keep me safe. The weight of that knowledge pressed down on me like a physical force as we reached Daven's car."I need to call her," I said, my voice steady despite the chaos screaming inside my chest.Daven noticed immediately. His hand reached for my arm gently. "Tessa.""I need answers," I said, pulling out my phone. "And she's the only one who has them."He didn't try to stop me again. I could see the acceptance in his expression—the understanding that I'd reached the point where ignorance was no longer an option. I pressed Monalisa's number before I could second-guess myself.It rang twice before she answered."Tessa?" Her voice sounded different than I remembered—worn down, tired, carrying th
Stolen by my Dad best friend Chapter 55: The woman in the corridor
Tessa's POVThe drive to Westbridge Care Center felt suspended in time—minutes stretching like hours, each second weighed down by the knowledge that we were finally, finally close to answers. Daven drove with an intensity that bordered on reckless, his eyes fixed on the road ahead with the singular focus of someone pursuing the only truth that mattered. Jake sat in the passenger seat, phone pressed to his ear, speaking in low, urgent tones to someone on the other end of the line. In the back seat, Rose sat rigid beside me, her hands clenched in her lap, waiting for news about her mother while simultaneously bracing herself for revelations about her past."Any update?" I asked, my voice barely audible above the engine.Jake ended the call and turned to face us. "She survived."I released a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. Evelyn Carter was alive. The woman who had been there the night everything changed was alive, which meant answers were still possible, which meant we hadn't co
Stolen by my Dad best friend Chapter 54: The Living witness
Tessa's POVVictor's words kept echoing through my mind as we rushed back to Westbridge Medical Center: *"The second witness was inside the hospital when you were born."*A nurse. Someone with access. Someone my mother had trusted. Someone who had been close enough to see everything and do nothing to stop it. The reality of that kept twisting through my thoughts—the fact that while my mother was disappearing, while my life was being rewritten, there had been someone standing right there, bearing witness, and choosing silence.Daven drove with his jaw clenched, his hands gripping the steering wheel with enough force to turn his knuckles white. The tension radiating off him was almost tangible. I could feel his mind working through the same puzzle pieces I was, arranging them into patterns, trying to make sense of how a single nurse could connect to everything—to Adrian, to my mother, to the entire conspiracy that had shaped my existence."You're quiet," I said, breaking the silence tha
Stolen by my Dad best friend Chapter 53: The inside witness
Tessa's POVThe initial stared up at me from the paper, impossibly small and impossibly heavy: *V.*One letter. That was all we had. One letter and a deadline that was counting down by the second. Victor stood across from us in the hospital corridor, his expression unreadable in that way it always was when he was wrestling with a secret too large to contain. But I knew him. I'd known him my entire life. And right now, watching the tension in his jaw, the careful way he held his body, the deliberate refusal to meet my eyes—I knew he was hiding something that changed everything."Dad," I said quietly, stepping toward him. "Who is the second witness?"His jaw tightened. I could see the battle playing out behind his eyes—the war between a father's protective instinct and the truth that could no longer stay buried. "Tessa—""Don't." My voice came out sharper than I intended. "Don't tell me you don't know."He looked away.That single gesture was confirmation."You do know," I said, and my
Stolen by my Dad best friend Chapter 52: The Hidden Name
Tessa's POVThe message on my phone burned like a brand: *ASK DAVEN WHO WAS STANDING BESIDE VICTOR THAT NIGHT.*I couldn't stop staring at those words. They twisted through my mind, wrapping around every piece of trust I'd built with Daven, every assumption I'd made about the people around me. Daven read the message again, his expression darkening with each word, and when he finally looked at me, I could see the weight of something terrible pressing down on him."Don't believe everything Adrian sends you," he said quietly. His voice carried a calm that felt forced, constructed—the kind of calm that comes right before a confession."But what if he's telling the truth?" My voice cracked slightly. "What if there was someone else there, and you've known about them all along?"Daven's jaw tightened. "He wants you to doubt everyone. He's already made you question your own father."I stared at him. "Do you know who was standing beside Victor that night?"He hesitated.That single moment of h
Stolen by my Dad best friend Chapter 51: The wrong face
Tessa's POVThe gunshot echoed through the building like thunder, reverberating off concrete walls and swallowing everything in its aftermath. For a single moment, time seemed to suspend itself—I couldn't move, couldn't think, couldn't do anything but cling to Daven as he pulled me against him, his body shielding mine instinctively."Stay close!" he commanded, his voice cutting through my panic.The air smelled like smoke and something acrid I couldn't identify. Somewhere ahead of us, something heavy hit the floor with a sickening thud. Daven immediately positioned himself between me and the sound, his protective instinct overriding everything else."We need to see who was shot," I said, my voice steadier than I felt."Tessa—""If someone is hurt, we can't leave them."He hesitated for only a moment, then nodded. "Stay close to me. Don't move away."We moved slowly through the darkness, the emergency lights flickering overhead in sputtering intervals that barely illuminated the corrid
