Chapter 2: The Investigation
Chapter 2: The Investigation
Three days later, I opened my eyes.
For real.
The first person I saw was Leo.
The second was Ms. Lawson.
My lawyer.
She looked exhausted.
But determined.
The moment Marcus tried to enter the room, two police detectives stopped him.
His face twisted with rage.
"What is this?"
Detective Harris calmly held up a folder.
"Mr. Sterling, we'd like to ask a few questions regarding the brake system of your wife's vehicle."
Marcus froze.
Only for a second.
But everyone noticed.
The investigation moved quickly.
Too quickly for him to stop.
The repair shop found evidence of deliberate tampering.
Security footage showed someone accessing the garage hours before the crash.
Then came the financial records.
Hidden accounts.
Insurance policies.
Emails.
And finally...
Victoria broke.
Faced with conspiracy charges, she agreed to cooperate.
The confession took less than forty minutes.
Yes.
Marcus had planned everything.
The forged estate documents.
The attempt to isolate Leo.
The pressure to sign over the family assets.
Even the crash.
When detectives informed me, I felt no triumph.

Only heartbreak.
Because the man I once trusted with my life had tried to steal it.
