Chapter 1: The Hidden Recordings
Mariana barely slept that night.
The image of Doña Consuelo trapped behind a locked door haunted her.
The next morning, she arrived earlier than usual. While cleaning Santiago's home office, she noticed a small digital voice recorder lying forgotten in a desk drawer.
An idea came to her.
Every afternoon after Santiago left for work, Camila became a different person.
Gone was the graceful smile she wore in public.
She barked orders at the staff, insulted Doña Consuelo, and complained that "the old woman was living far too long."
That evening, Mariana secretly hid the recorder beneath a decorative cabinet near Doña Consuelo's room.
For six days it captured everything.
Every insult.
Every threat.
Every cruel laugh.
Most horrifying of all...
One recording captured Camila saying,
"If she refuses to eat, let her starve. The inheritance won't come until she's gone."
Another voice answered.
"And Santiago?"
"He believes every word I tell him."
