Chapter 5 - The Heartbreaking Audio Log Recorded Before the Fatal Accident

The laptop speakers crackled to life, filling the quiet kitchen with the familiar, gentle voice of Sarah Sterling.
“If anyone is listening to this file, it means Nora Vance has succeeded in her plan,” Sarah’s recorded voice stated clearly.
Mark gripped the edge of the kitchen table, tears instantly welling in his eyes as he heard his late wife.
On the video screen, Sarah sat at her home office desk looking pale, exhausted, and visibly distressed.
“She’s been tampering with my daily heart medication and draining our joint business accounts,” Sarah continued on tape.
“She told me today that if I don't sign over my share of the design firm, accidents happen to mothers.”
Lily buried her face in her hands, letting out a soft sob as the painful memory rushed back.
“Mommy hid that card inside my pillowcase and told me to never give it to anyone except Daddy,” Lily sobbed.
Mark stared at the screen, the crushing weight of betrayal shattering his heart into irreparable pieces.
