Chapter 2 - The Six-Month Sickness
For the past six months, Diane had been suffering from mysterious, debilitating migraines.
Before the headaches started, Diane was a brilliant, high-energy corporate executive who had personally funded the down payment for their sprawling estate. Mark, an arrogant, mid-level investment banker, had always felt insecure about his wife's superior income and undeniable success.
When Diane's health began to mysteriously decline, Mark played the role of the devoted, doting husband. He insisted on cooking her dinner every single night, bringing her warm bowls of chicken soup to "soothe her nerves."
Simultaneously, he began taking over their joint financial accounts, claiming he wanted to reduce her stress.
What Diane didn't know was that Mark had been secretly having an affair with his younger secretary. He wanted a divorce, but because of their ironclad prenuptial agreement, he would leave the marriage completely bankrupt.
Mark discovered a dark loophole: if Diane were declared medically incapacitated or worse, he would automatically inherit her entire corporate portfolio and the multi-million-dollar estate.
So, Mark purchased a highly toxic, untraceable chemical compound on the dark web. It was designed to slowly degrade the central nervous system, mimicking the symptoms of a severe neurological disease.
Every night, while preparing her dinner, Mark would quietly tear open a tiny white packet and stir the powder directly into Diane's soup.
