The College Packet Trap Chapter 13
The weight I'd carried through two lifetimes was finally gone.***Two years later, I married Luke Lambert, my boyfriend of three years.He was an upperclassman I met in college—steady, mature, dependable.More than anything, he understood why I kept my walls up and never asked me to be softer than I was.We had a huge wedding.Dad wore the most expensive custom suit he'd ever owned and spent nearly all his savings on my wedding gift.When the music started, he took my hand and walked me down the aisle.The second he placed my hand in Luke's, he broke down crying."Maya had a hard life growing up."Please take good care of her."Luke squeezed my hand and shook Dad's.A year later, I gave birth to our daughter, Sophie Lambert.Dad was over the moon.He moved into our apartment complex and came by every day to help with Sophie.He spoiled her rotten. Even Luke joked that Dad only had eyes for his granddaughter now.Our life was loud, warm, and wonderfully normal.I never

"We're with an international police task force."Kelsey died in a rental apartment overseas."The conference room went dead silent.I tightened my grip on the phone and walked to the end of the hall."What did you just say?"The officer explained what happened.After Kelsey moved overseas with three hundred grand, the glamorous life she'd imagined never happened.She burned through money like crazy and had no degree, no job skills, and no backup plan.Less than two years later, she was broke.Desperate, she fell in with some shady people and joined a phone scam ring targeting people back home.She was pretty and knew how to fake charm, so she handled romance-investment scams aimed at wealthy older men.She conned a lot of people out of their savings.But recently, Kelsey got into a nasty fight with the ringleader over how to split a huge score.They weren't interested in arguing.One night, several people broke into her apartment and killed her to shut her up."Her body

I ignored her screaming and walked out of the hospital.***Three months later, the verdict came down.The evidence was solid.Brenda was convicted of murder.One person was dead, another critically injured, and Brenda got life without parole.She'd never walk free again.Victor died without a will or any other children.After a messy legal battle, Kelsey was still legally his daughter and had inheritance rights under the divorce agreement.So she ended up with most of what Victor left behind.After selling the property and company shares, Kelsey walked away with a little over three hundred grand.For most people, that was life-changing money.And the first thing she did wasn't visit the mom who'd killed for her.She hired an agent, got a visa, and planned to disappear overseas and live it up.The afternoon before she left, she showed up outside the company where I was interning.Dressed to turn heads, sunglasses on, heels clicking.The second I walked out, she stepped

Glass glittered across the ground beside a huge pool of blood.People whispered while police cars flashed red and blue nearby.Standing at the edge of the crowd, I pieced together what happened from the witnesses.The police report later confirmed it.For two years, Victor had pushed Brenda to the edge.She could barely keep the lights on, while Kelsey kept demanding money for expensive stuff.Eventually, Brenda snapped.She drove the beat-up car she'd kept after the divorce and waited outside Victor's company for three days.Her plan was to block his car and threaten to kill herself unless he gave her money.But when Victor walked out after work, Brenda saw something that made her snap.He didn't look stressed.He didn't look miserable.He looked sharp in his suit—and happier than ever.A young, gorgeous secretary walked beside him.Victor had an arm around her waist. They were all over each other, even kissing beside his car.This clearly wasn't new.That was it.Bre

Victor was a businessman, and nothing scared him more than getting sued.His whole attitude flipped."Daniel, this is all a misunderstanding!"Brenda did this on her own. I had no idea!"Maya's acceptance letter is safe. We can settle the money stuff ourselves. I'll pay back every cent, plus interest!"Just like that, he threw Brenda under the bus.She stared at him, stunned.After everything she'd done for him, he ditched her without blinking.Dad wasn't buying it.Dad handed the evidence to the police and pushed for a full investigation.That afternoon, he helped me pack everything I owned.After eighteen years, I finally walked out of that suffocating apartment for good.Dad took me back to his place.The building was old, but his apartment was spotless.Then I opened the spare bedroom door and froze.The bed had pink sheets, and my childhood photos covered the desk.Even the closet was packed with clothes in different sizes, like he'd been waiting for me to grow int

"What century do you think this is? You can't just send someone to college under my name!"That's illegal. If you wanna go to prison, leave me out of it!"The second I refused, Brenda's fake sweetness vanished."I tried being nice, you ungrateful little bitch!"I gave birth to you. I raised you. Your life belongs to me! One stupid college acceptance isn't a big deal!"She lunged at me.Victor dropped the act too and yanked my arm behind my back.Together, they dragged me to my room.Bang.They shoved me inside.Brenda ripped my phone from my pocket.Click.The door locked from the outside."If you won't agree, then starve in there!" Brenda snapped through the door. "You can come out when you get some sense!"The room went dark.I dropped to the floor, my whole body aching.But I didn't cry.I forced myself to stay calm.Then I crawled to the bed and reached inside my pillow.From a hidden slit, I pulled out an old backup phone.I'd bought it with money from my summe
