Then: “Mrs. Bennett… you’d better ask your husband.” I froze. “What?”
“Ask Adrian.” My grip tightened around the phone. “What did my husband do?”
Sophie went quiet again. Then she whispered: “Ask him. But I doubt he’ll tell you the truth.”
My stomach tightened. “What truth?” There was another long pause. When Sophie finally answered, her voice sounded completely different.
“Mrs. Bennett… I can’t even look at Lily after what he did.” I stood up.
“Sophie, what are you talking about?” She took a shaky breath. “Okay. I’ll tell you.”
Then she added: “But you should probably sit down first.” I slowly lowered myself onto the edge of the bed.
Sophie’s voice dropped almost to a whisper. “It’s about what your husband did to me…
and my mom.” And then she told me. Her next words made me feel sick. (I know everyone’s desperate to know what the messages said… so if you want full story, leave a “YES” below!)
