Chapter 13 - Uncovering The Dark Secret Behind Samantha’s Disappearance
Back in the penthouse office, Samantha accessed the private family archives that Victoria had tried desperately to erase.
She clicked on a digital audio log dated exactly fifteen years ago, the night of her supposed fatal car accident.
The computer speakers crackled with static before a familiar, sinister voice filled the quiet executive room.
“Make sure the brakes fail completely on her mountain pass... when she’s gone, the entire estate belongs to us.”
Samantha recognized Victoria’s younger, colder voice plotting her murder with a hired mechanic.
Jonathan stood behind her chair, listening to the horrific confession with a heavy, regretful sigh.
“We suspected foul play, but without the audio proof, the authorities had to rule it an accidental crash,” Jonathan explained.
“Victoria thought she had erased every server backup in the Swiss data centers,” Samantha said softly.
“She underestimated how thoroughly your father archived every family communication in analog vaults,” Jonathan noted.
