Chapter 106

HAZEL

PRESENT TIME

To ensure my daughter’s safety, I agreed to temporarily live with Ravel until I am prepared to return to Seattle. I have already made plans to depart this weekend with the hope of returning later. While I believe I can manage matters from at distance, I still feel the need to be physically present in the office to fully understand what’s happening.

Ravel cleared his throat to capture my attention. “Someone has been planted in your apartment to impersonate you. Hopefully, the next time he show up, we’ll be able to catch the stalker.”

Nodding slowly, I set my fork down on the table. “Can I see that picture again, please?” I requested, a hint of concern in my voice.

“I’m not sure, but I just want to double–check something.” I clicked on the picture and stared at it intently, my mind racing with questions. Why did the person in the photo bear such a striking resemblance to
