Chapter 4 - A FATHER WITHOUT A HOME
Planned length: 900 words
Richard checks into a Charlotte hotel rather than create another scene.
His face is swollen slightly and his lip is cut.
He ignores calls from relatives asking what happened.
The accusation begins spreading through the family.
Some people believe Vanessa immediately.
Some simply keep their distance.
That silence becomes its own punishment.
Richard realizes Vanessa has not merely separated him from Daniel.
She has attacked the identity he spent sixty-five years building.
Father.
Husband.
Businessman.
Decent man.
