Laura took a deep breath, her resolve hardening into a steely determination. She knew she couldn’t confront Daniel directly—he had the advantage of invisibility, and any rash move might drive him further underground. Instead, she decided to orchestrate a plan as intricate as the one Daniel had laid out.
Laura began by reaching out to her closest friends and family members, sharing the shocking revelation of Daniel’s deceit.
Despite their disbelief and outrage, they rallied around her, offering support and assistance for whatever she needed next. The small army of allies became her eyes and ears, tasked with monitoring unusual activities and reporting back to her.
Meanwhile, Laura hired a private investigator. His name was Sam, a retired detective with a reputation for digging up hidden truths.
Together, they devised a strategy to track Daniel down without alerting him to her knowledge. Sam began by tracing the paper trail Daniel had unwittingly left behind—examining bank transactions, motel bookings, and security footage from locations where his card had been used.
