Suspicion

James looked at Grace coldly, his frustration building over Eric's cryptic message about "that man." Grace was usually surrounded by her circle of close friends, rarely giving anyone a reason to suspect infidelity. Yet, Eric's words had stirred doubts.

Grace's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly composed herself. "What could I possibly have done? I've done nothing wrong! My conscience is clear," she said, trying to sound confident.

James smirked, his doubt obvious. "Then why did Eric ask Henry to relay a message to you about a man? He told Henry to tell this man to come forward, or he'd release a recording. That recording isn't about Henry—it's about you. Henry tried to lie to me just now, but I know he's covering for you!"

Grace's heart raced, and she felt a chill creep over her. What did Eric know? Could he have figured out the identity of that man?
