The discovery sent a tremor through her. Her daughter, Chloe, had a hidden account. Different name, different friends, different life. A life she clearly hadn’t shared with her mother. She felt a burning sensation in her eyes, a tightness in her chest.

She paced the small living room, the worn rug underfoot. Every object seemed to mock her, to whisper about a reality she didn't know. The framed family photos seemed to leer at her. She felt overwhelmed, as if she was drowning in a sea of unknown.

She wanted to call someone, to scream at someone.
