Candy's POV
As I leaned against the kitchen counter, my fingers scrolled through the flood of new, twisted posts about Kattie. Each one hit harder than the last, especially the ones dragging in her ex-husband and suggesting rumors about the twins' paternity. It wasn't just some baseless gossip this time. No, whoever was behind it had a frighteningly personal agenda.
My heart raced as a truth I'd buried started surfacing. Years back, long before Kattie and I became close, I'd met a man — someone who I only now realized might be connected to her past. Back then, I had no reason to think twice about him, but seeing Kattie's whole life getting torn apart like this… I couldn't ignore the guilt gnawing at me.
