Chapter 6 - The JournalSarah remembered one more thing.
“There is a journal.”
Everyone turned toward her.
“Where?”
“In the guest bedroom.”
Detective Miller followed her.
Inside the nightstand was a black leather journal.
Its pages contained dates.
Appointments.
Bank transfers.
Insurance policies.
Even notes about Mark's emotional state.
One sentence made Mark's blood run cold.
Target: Mark. Vulnerable after anniversary of Clara's death.
Another:
Lily must be isolated.
Another:
Estate control expected within twelve months.
Mark stared at the handwriting.
“She planned all of this.”
Detective Miller nodded.
“She didn't marry you because she loved you.”
Mark looked at the final page.
There was one date circled in red.
The date of Clara's death.
Underneath it were three words.
Problem permanently solved.
Mark felt sick.
