Chapter 15 - The ConfessionDaniel was arrested before he could destroy the documents.
But he still denied everything.
Until Marcus showed him the video.
Then the old phone.
Then the messages.
Then Vanessa's testimony.
Daniel's confidence disappeared piece by piece.
Finally, he asked one question.
"Where is Sarah?"
Marcus smiled.
"Safe."
Daniel looked down.
For the first time, there was nothing left to manipulate.
He confessed.
Not everything.
But enough.
He admitted the insurance policy.
The divorce scheme.
The witness statement.
The meetings with Vanessa.
And finally—
The accident.
"I didn't tell her to kill Sarah," he said.
Marcus raised an eyebrow.
"You told her to make it look accidental."
Daniel lowered his head.
"I didn't think she'd actually do it."
Marcus stared at him.

"That's the difference between a mistake and a plan."
Daniel said nothing.
