Single Dad Janitor Yelled “Don’t Get in the Car!” — What the CEO Did Next Shocked the Whole Company
Chapter 6
The next morning, investigators found something disturbing.
The attempted kidnapping had been planned for Victoria’s schedule.
Someone had leaked information about a private board meeting.
The kidnappers believed Victoria’s daughter would leave the building with her.
But Victoria didn’t have a daughter.
Someone had either fabricated the information or believed a lie.
Then security discovered a second problem.
An employee database had been altered.
Daniel’s family information had been accessed twice.
His home address.
Lily’s school.
Emergency contacts.
Everything.
Daniel felt sick.
“Why would someone target us?”
Victoria stared at the files.
“They weren’t targeting you.”
“What?”
“They thought you were me.”
Daniel looked at her.
“Then they were targeting your family.”
Victoria shook her head.
“I don’t have one.”
She stopped.
A strange silence filled the room.
Then she looked at Daniel’s face again.
The eyes.
The jawline.
Something.
Something she couldn’t place.
“Where is your wife from?”
Daniel frowned.
“What?”
“Before she died.”
“She grew up here.”
“What’s her name?”
“Rachel.”
Victoria’s face changed.
“Rachel Carter?”
Daniel stared.
“Yes.”
Victoria stepped backward.
“That’s impossible.”
“Why?”
She walked toward a cabinet.
Opened a drawer.
Pulled out an old photograph.
It showed a group of university students.
One young woman stood near the center.
Rachel.
Daniel stared at the picture.
“Where did you get this?”
Victoria’s voice trembled.
“She was my best friend.”
Daniel couldn’t speak.
Victoria looked at him.
“And you never knew?”
“About what?”
Victoria sat down.
“Rachel wasn’t just my friend.”
She turned the photograph over.
A date was written on the back.
Twenty-five years earlier.
“She was my sister.”
Daniel stared at her.
Everything he thought he knew about his wife was about to change.
