Chapter 104: Gone Too Far
Diane’s POV
"Do you know why I’m telling you this story?" he asked, his voice gaining strength as he moved toward his point.
I shook my head, unable to trust my voice.
"Because your soon-to-be ex-husband mentioned a house address in his threats against me. And that address... it’s my daughter’s house address."
My eyes widened in shock and confusion. "What? How would Liam even know about your daughter?"
Guerrero’s expression darkened, anger beginning to mix with the grief in his features
"At first, I thought what Liam was threatening me with was something terrible. Maybe he was planning to kidnap my daughter because I was moving against him to have him removed as CEO. The thought terrified me...that my actions might put her in danger when she’d already suffered enough because of my choices."
He paused, pulling out his phone and showing me some text messages. "But then the idiot sent me pictures. Pictures of my daughter hugging outside her house, along with a text accusing me of infidelity. He thought she was my... my mistress."
Despite everything, I felt a bubble of hysterical laughter rise in my throat. "He what?"
"He’s been spying on me, apparently. Following me to our coffee meetings, taking photographs, building what he thought was evidence of an affair. His message said that I’d been accusing him of infidelity, but that I was doing the same thing...cheating on my wife."
The absurdity of it—Liam’s complete misreading of the situation—would have been funny if it weren’t so twisted and invasive. "He has no idea she’s your daughter?"
