CHAPTER 2 — The Secret Behind The Fall
Detective Marcus Hale entered the mansion holding a thick black folder.
Everyone recognized him.
He was famous for solving cases involving powerful families.
Victoria immediately changed her attitude.
“Detective, this is ridiculous,” she said.
“This woman is unstable.”
Elena said nothing.
She simply watched.
Because she knew this was exactly what Victoria would do.
Lie.
Manipulate.
Pretend to be innocent.
Marcus opened the folder.
Inside were photographs.
Security recordings.
Financial documents.
And medical reports.
The guests stared in confusion.
“What is this?” someone asked.
Marcus looked at Victoria.
“This is evidence that the staircase accident was not an accident.”
The room exploded with whispers.
Victoria’s face turned pale.
“That’s impossible.”
Marcus placed a photograph on the table.
It showed Victoria standing near the staircase earlier that evening.
Holding something in her hand.
A small device.
A hidden mechanism.
The same device that caused the staircase railing to break.
Elena touched her stomach gently.
She remembered the sound.
The sudden fall.
The moment she thought she would lose her child.
