Chapter 5 - THE GLASS OF WATEROne evening, Mark returned home after a long day.
He looked exhausted.
Victoria immediately poured him a glass of water.
"Drink this."
Mark took it.
Before he could raise the glass, Elena entered the room.
"Mr. Vance, your lawyer called earlier."
Mark turned.
"Did he say what he wanted?"
"He asked you to call him tonight."
Victoria's hand tightened around the glass.
Mark placed it on the table.
"I'll call him."
Victoria smiled.
"Of course."
Later that night, Elena entered the kitchen.
The glass was still sitting there.
She noticed something strange.
Victoria had washed every glass in the room—
except that one.
Elena stared at it.
Her instincts screamed.
She didn't know what was inside.
But she knew she couldn't ignore it.
She carefully placed the glass aside.
The next morning, Victoria asked:
"Did you throw away that glass?"
Elena looked at her.
"No."
For a second, Victoria's expression went completely blank.
Then she smiled.
"Good."
Elena understood.
