Chapter 3 - The Wealthy Benefactor

Susan drove home in a complete daze, her hands shaking on the steering wheel of her ten-year-old sedan. Her mind spun violently back to the year 2008.
Back then, her husband Arthur was a struggling real estate agent drowning in over three hundred thousand dollars of debt. They were days away from losing their house, and Arthur was constantly arguing with mysterious callers on the phone.
Then came the car accident. It had been a low-speed fender bender, but Arthur had panicked, refusing to let the paramedics take her to the regional general hospital. Instead, he had called a private ambulance service owned by his wealthy business client, Julian Sterling.
When Susan woke up days later in the private clinic, Arthur was sitting by her bedside with a massive smile on his face. Miraculously, all his debts were paid off three weeks later, and he suddenly had enough capital to launch his lucrative property development firm.
For eighteen years, Arthur had claimed his sudden wealth came from a brilliant real estate investment with Julian Sterling.
Susan pulled into the long driveway of their sprawling suburban mansion. The five-bedroom home, the luxury vehicles, the country club memberships—everything had been built on the proceeds of her stolen body part.
As she entered the foyer, she heard Arthur’s boisterous laughter echoing from the formal dining room.
