“What do you mean?”
With a grave expression, Tyrone explained, “The kidnapping case was never real. It was a carefully staged act.”
Sabrina stared at Tyrone in utter disbelief.
The kidnapping was a charade?
But what about her father’s tragic demise?
“Do you still recall Lena’s words on that New Year’s Eve? She mentioned Larry’s affair. When she confronted him, he denied
involvement with that woman but refused to divulge her identity.”
A dreadful notion flashed through Sabrina’s mind, knitting her brows and making her Lips quiver.
“You must have guessed it correctly.”
“Is that Galilea?”
Sabrina knew that was the answer, yet she struggled to accept the truth.
“Yes,” Tyrone confirmed.
Tyrone locked eyes with Sabrina, granting her the necessary time to compose herself.
After a while, Tyrone resumed, recounting the entire story to Sabrina slowly.
Sabrina hung her head Low, her eyes shut tightly, her elbows resting on her knees, and her fingers entwined in her hair.
She maintained such a posture for an extended period.
Tyrone respected her silence, refraining from interrupting her thoughts.
Observing her struggle to come to terms with the revelation, Tyrone felt a deep sense of sympathy.
Even he had grappled with the harsh reality. Sabrina’s burden was even heavier.
Sabrina had believed her father was killed by malevolent kidnappers and their enigmatic backers. However, it turned out the
kidnapping case was an elaborate ruse, and her father had met his end at the hands of the
“yvictim” he had sought to rescue!
The person she always showed respect for had been complicit in her father’s murder!
ALL of this had stemmed from nothing more than a casual jest by Larry!
