The Price of Curiosity
My dad and Anna were talking about getting married.
I tried to stop them, but my dad snapped at me, refusing to listen. Then, Lance stepped forward and told him the truth.
It was like a bucket of ice water dumped over him. My dad's expression changed instantly as he looked at Anna, like he was finally seeing her clearly for the first time.
"So this is who you really are?" he demanded.
Anna started begging, trying to explain, but it was too late. She had caused Lance's father's death, and indirectly, my mother's too. Then, unbelievably, she was trying to marry my father, clearly setting her sights on our family's wealth.
