Part 6: The Call I Never Expected

When I arrived home, I found several missed calls from Ádám.
Then a message appeared.
“Please come back. We need to talk before you make a mistake you can’t undo.”
I read it twice.
A few minutes later, Nelli sent me a message.
“Eszter, please don’t believe everything your father tells you. There are things you don’t know about Ádám.”
I immediately called her.
She answered, but she sounded frightened.
— What things?
— I can’t explain over the phone.
— Then meet me.
She hesitated.
— Tomorrow. Alone. And please don’t tell Ádám.
Before I could ask another question, she ended the call.
I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the phone.
The woman who had just celebrated her pregnancy with my fiancé was now asking to meet me secretly.
Something was terribly wrong.
