The night after the attack — while Derek slept soundly in our house, certain the evidence lay pulverized under his shoe — I gave my attorney the recovery key to the server from memory.

Her name was Delia Ford, and she had been my father’s lawyer before she was mine, and she was not a woman who frightened easily.

The footage was all there.

Every single second of it.

Derek demanding the deed.

Sylvia mocking me from the breakfast table.

The shove.

My scream.
