That night, Leah received a call from Lorenzo, the private investigator Richard had hired.

"Hello Mr. Richard, I have some updates on the accident investigation," Lorenzo said.

Leah’s heart raced. "What did you find?"

"Ooh, Mrs. Leah. There’s a lead we need to follow up on. It’s not conclusive, but it’s a start. I think it’s best if we meet in person to discuss the details along with Mr. Richard," Lorenzo explained.

"Sounds good. We'll be there tomorrow," Leah agreed.

It’s important."The guard sighed, looking at her for a moment before finally relenting. "Alright, five minutes. That’s all."Emily took a deep breath, watching as her mother was brought back out.

With his hands trembling, he finally blurted out, “It was Mary. Mary! She’s the one who wanted Leah dead! I was just doing what I was paid for!”Detectives exchanged glances, already suspecting her involvement but now having the confirmation they needed.

Leah had been so innocent from the beginning, and then possibly dead because of her mother’s actions.

Finally, everything has fallen into place."Emily blinked, unsure of where this was going. "What are you talking about, mom?"Mary sat down, a little too close to Emily, and leaned in. "Leah," she whispered, her voice cold and sinister. "It seems like she’s finally gone. No one has heard anything. No news. It’s been weeks. She’s probably dead, and they haven’t found her body yet."Emily’s heart stopped for a moment. She stared at her mother, wide-eyed, her mind racing. She had been angry at Leah for years, jealous even, but wishing her dead? That wasn’t something she wanted. Not like this."How? What happened?"...

He dropped to his knees beside the bed, burying his face in his hands. His heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces. He couldn’t stop the flood of tears.

Just days ago, Leah was smiling, and now… now he was standing here, lost in a nightmare he couldn’t wake up from.He pulled out the small stack of documents from her bag, his curiosity getting the better of him.
