Roger Tells The Deal
We went back inside, and this time I didn’t hesitate. I leaned forward and asked Roger directly if Jacob had paid him, my voice steady despite the tension filling the room. Roger avoided my eyes at first, staring at the floor before finally admitting yes. He explained that he had filed for custody years ago, only for Jacob to arrive with a check and a threat meant to silence him. Greg calmly asked how much, and Roger admitted it was enough to rebuild his life, paired with a warning that Jacob would destroy him if he refused. Hearing that Roger had wanted custody but had been forced out made everything feel painfully real.

Everything Starts To Add Up
I stood and paced once, my thoughts racing, until Greg reminded me to stay grounded in the facts. One by one, I laid them out aloud: the hidden letters, the custody filing, the payoff, the blocked calls, and the concealed paternity test. Roger confirmed he had tried contacting me every year without fail. Greg then asked the most important question—whether Roger could prove the custody filing. When Roger said he had copies stored at his shop, the air shifted. There was no hesitation between us. I grabbed my bag, determined not to lose momentum, while Roger went to retrieve the evidence immediately.
