The Autopsy of a Lie

Summary

I handle hundreds of death certificates every month.

I’ve never seen one this fake.

"Dr. Sterling, before my mom passed... her only wish was to see me marry you."

She was sobbing, her body trembling, clutching a handwritten letter in her other hand.

Liam took it, his brows furrowing in deep concern.

I stood right behind him, my gaze landing on that death certificate.

Thirty seconds.

That was all I needed.
