Chapter 9 - The ConfessionVictoria began to panic.
And panic made her careless.
“She trusted me,” she whispered.
Mark stared at her.
“Who?”
“Clara.”
Victoria suddenly laughed.
“She drank everything I gave her.”
The room went silent.
Detective Miller's body camera captured every word.
Victoria didn't notice.
“She was so naive.”
Mark's face turned white.
Victoria continued.
“She thought I was helping her.”
Sarah covered her mouth.
Mark could barely breathe.
“Why?”
Victoria looked at him.
“Because you were never going to leave her.”
There it was.
The motive.
Not love.
Not jealousy.
Possession.
Victoria wanted Mark.
She wanted his money.

She wanted his estate.
And Clara stood between her and everything she desired.
