The Sheriff’s Case Was Only the Beginning—Then We Discovered Derek’s Secret Identity
At the hospital, Sarah finally admitted the truth.
Derek had abused her, threatened her, and tried to convince everyone she was unstable.
Then police discovered something even worse.
An unknown woman had been taking photos of Derek at a storage unit filled with documents using Sarah’s identity.
Her bank account had been drained, and police found fake companies, insurance papers, power-of-attorney documents, and passports.
One passport had Derek’s photo—but a completely different name:
Ethan Cole.
Then Derek disappeared.
Police later found hidden cameras in Sarah’s home that had been recording for nearly two years.
One recording revealed Derek had been planning to have Sarah declared mentally unstable and take control of her unborn baby.
The proposed guardian was a mysterious blonde woman named Claire Donovan.
Sarah stared at her photo.
“I don’t have a sister.”
But I recognized those eyes.
Years earlier, my late wife had told me she had given birth to a daughter before Sarah.
Then Sarah received a message:
“Claire isn’t helping Derek. She’s trying to save you.”
Suddenly, everything we thought we knew about Derek—and our family—changed.
