I made a decision without telling you. Emma agreed, but I know you’ll be mad when you find out.
I felt my whole body get cold.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY DAUGHTER?
Please let me explain.
I pushed him away and passed by him.
EMA!
I rushed to the stairs, crying.
But he suddenly grabbed my hand.
“WAIT!”
I turned sharply.
“LET ME GO!”
He immediately set me free.
“Please!” You get everything wrong!
I was shaking with anger.
“If you hurt our daughter, I swear I’ll call the police!”
His eyes widened.
“To hurt her?” What are you talking about?
At this point, Emma appeared at the top of the stairs.
“Mom?” Daddy? What’s going on?
I ran to her.
“Emma, honey, tell me the truth. What did your father do to you?
She looked at me.
Then the money on the table.
Her expression changed.
