Chapter 5: The Truth Behind The Fall
Victoria tried to escape.
But detectives blocked the door.
“You’re not leaving,” Collins said.
Victoria laughed.
“You think this ends with me?”
She looked at Elena.
“She knows nothing.”
Elena frowned.
“What?”
Victoria smiled.
“Ask your husband.”
Silence.
Elena’s face changed.
Her husband?
Detective Collins looked confused.
Daniel looked at Elena.
Then everyone heard footsteps.
Marcus Vale entered the mansion.
Elena’s husband.
The man she trusted.
The man who had protected her.
But his expression was filled with guilt.
“Elena…”
Her heart sank.
“You knew?”
Marcus said nothing.
That was the answer.
The truth was worse than she imagined.
Marcus knew about the threats.
He knew Victoria was dangerous.
But he stayed silent because he was protecting his family’s reputation.
Elena whispered:
“You let me walk into danger.”
Marcus lowered his eyes.
“I was wrong.”
