CHAPTER 1: The Note Inside the Mattress

Then one day, my doctor told me that because of my health, I could no longer live alone and needed someone to care for me.

So my nephew said we had to sell my house and that I would move in with his family.

That meant I had no choice but to finally pack up the belongings of my wife, daughter, and son — things I HADN’T TOUCHED in all those 40 years.

While I was going through my daughter’s room, I got so tired that I sank onto her bed and heard a crack.

I pressed my hand against the mattress and felt something HARD.

I flipped the mattress over and found a crudely stitched slit.

I grabbed a pair of scissors, cut it open, and pulled out a BOX that had been hidden inside the mattress.

Inside the box was a handwritten NOTE.

It was in Clara’s handwriting.

The first words made my hands shake:

“If you’re reading this, then something has happened to me.

It’s time for you to hear the truth.

Don’t trust Gwen.

There is SOMETHING you never knew.”

By the SECOND LINE, I was sobbing.

What did Clara know about Gwen that she h*d for 40 years?

And why did she hide it where only he would find it?

My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.
