Chapter 5 - The Audio Confession

Sarah’s heart hammered violently against her ribs. The heavy footsteps of her husband and his mistress were marching directly up the stairs toward the office.

Sarah frantically shoved the medical files into her bag. With mere seconds to spare, she dove into the deep, dark shadows of the office's walk-in storage closet, pulling the louvered door shut just as Michael and Chloe walked into the room.

From the darkness of the closet, Sarah pulled out her phone and hit record.

"Relax, Chloe," Michael sighed arrogantly, pouring himself a glass of expensive bourbon. "My grandfather is signing the CEO transition documents at the gala tomorrow night. Once he sees your baby bump in that designer dress, the five hundred million is ours."

"This silicone belly is heavy, Michael," Chloe complained, the sound of her dropping her purse echoing in the room. "And I'm terrified the old man is going to want to see a real ultrasound soon."

"He won't," Michael sneered coldly. "He trusts me. We just have to keep the fake pregnancy going until the ink is dry on the trust fund. Then we can fake a tragic miscarriage, adopt a kid, and keep the empire."

"Are you sure Sarah isn't going to be a problem?" Chloe asked nervously.

Michael laughed, a dark, merciless, and evil sound. "Sarah is sleeping in a cheap apartment, believing she's barren. The powder I slipped in her tea took care of that little 'mistake' she was carrying. She has absolutely no idea. She is entirely erased from our lives."

In the closet, tears of pure, unadulterated hatred streamed down Sarah's face. She stopped the recording. She had the audio. She had the files. She had everything she needed.
