Chapter 3 - The Hidden Camera
Diane was incredibly intelligent, and her intuition was razor-sharp.
Two weeks ago, she had noticed a glaring inconsistency: her brutal headaches only occurred after eating dinner at home, and completely vanished when she traveled for business.
Suspicious, she secretly bypassed drinking the soup for three nights, pouring it down the sink when Mark wasn't looking. Almost immediately, her mind cleared, and her energy returned.
Refusing to be a victim, Diane hired a private investigator to audit Mark's recent financial history. The investigator uncovered the offshore dark web purchases and the extensive, expensive hotel stays booked with his secretary.
Realizing that her own husband was actively trying to murder her for a payout, Diane didn't scream or confront him blindly. She knew a narcissist like Mark would simply deny everything and destroy the evidence.
She needed to catch him in the act.
Diane purchased a microscopic, motion-activated security camera and hid it flawlessly inside the kitchen smoke detector, pointing directly at the stove.
On the night of her mother-in-law's monthly dinner visit, Diane watched the live camera feed on her smartphone while pretending to rest in the living room. She watched Mark smile, tear open the tiny white packet, and dump the poison into her specific bowl.
She waited until Mark turned his back to retrieve the wine from the cellar.
