Chapter 7 - THE ACCIDENTTwo days later, Mark's car crashed.
It happened on a winding road outside Hartford.
The police called it an accident.
The brakes had failed.
Mark survived.
Barely.
At the hospital, Victoria cried beside his bed.
She told everyone how terrified she was.
She held his hand.
She told the doctors she loved him.
But Elena noticed something.
Victoria wasn't looking at Mark.
She was looking at the documents on the hospital table.
Documents related to his estate.
Elena quietly stepped into the hallway.
A police officer was speaking with a mechanic.
"The brake system was tampered with."
Elena froze.
Tampered with?
She turned toward Victoria.
Victoria was watching her from across the hallway.
Their eyes met.
Neither woman spoke.
Then Victoria smiled.

And Elena knew.
This was no accident.
