Chapter 5 - The Financial Trap
Arthur struggled wildly against the officer’s grip, his floral vacation shirt tearing at the shoulder.
"Let go of me! Do you know who I am?!" Arthur roared, staring at Clara in wild disbelief. "Clara! Tell them to stop! What did you do?!"
Clara slowly stood up from the marble floor, hugging Chloe’s framed portrait against her chest. She stepped toward her husband, her face setting into a cold, unbreakable resolve.
"I didn't do anything, Arthur," Clara said calmly. "You did this to yourself."
While Arthur was away on his romantic getaway, Clara hadn't just mourned at Chloe's bedside. When the doctors told her Chloe wouldn't survive the night, Clara opened Arthur's home office safe to look for his medical insurance papers.
Instead, she discovered a hidden ledger proving Arthur had been systematically draining Chloe's medical trust fund to finance his secret affair with Beatrice and cover his illegal offshore gambling debts.
