Chapter 10 - THE WOMAN WHO CHOSE TO TALKMaria's assistant, Claire, had spent ten years watching everything.
The arguments.
The secret meetings.
The envelopes.
The doctor's visits.
The hidden accounts.
She had always remained silent.
Until she saw Maria attempt to kill again.
Claire walked into the police station carrying a phone.
“I have evidence.”
Detective Carter looked up.
“What kind?”
“Enough to put Maria Hayes in prison.”
She handed him the phone.
Messages appeared.
Payments.
Instructions.
Warnings.
One message stopped him cold.
MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T WAKE UP.
Another:
SEAL THE COFFIN.
And another:
I'LL HANDLE THE SON.
Carter looked at Claire.
“Where did you get this?”
“From Maria's private phone.”
“Why now?”
Claire's eyes filled with tears.
“Because I finally realized loyalty can become cowardice.”
That evening, Maria discovered the phone was missing.
She knew immediately.

Claire had betrayed her.
