Desmond stepped into the room. He looked at Lennox the way a man looks at a stain on his carpet. "You're the delivery driver," he said. "The one from the cardiac incident." He turned to Garrett. "I filed a complaint about this individual. He entered the house without authorization, and now he's in your study again with what appears to be a piece of jewelry." He paused. "Garrett, this is a con. You're a sick man. People take advantage."Lennox said nothing. He stood still holding the locket, watching.Garrett spoke, his voice quiet but steady. "Desmond, his name is Lennox Preston."The name landed in the room like a stone in still water. Desmond's jaw tightened—just barely, just enough."His mother's name was Rosalyn," Garrett continued. "And I know what you did."Desmond's composure held. "I don't know what you're talking about.""I hired an investigator five years ago," Garrett said. "I found her death certificate. I found a birth record: a son, born five months after she left this house." He looked at Desmond. "You told me she stole from us. You showed me the police report. You showed me the jewelry. And I believed you."Desmond didn't blink. "Because it was true.""Was it?""She was a thief, Garrett. I protected you. I protected this family.""You protected yourself!" Garrett's voice cracked—not from weakness, but from rage held too long. "You told me she left because she was guilty. You told me she didn't care. Do you know what that did to me? I spent six years thinking the woman I loved was a liar!""She was the help, Garrett.""She was the mother of my child!"
