Chapter 6 - The Master Plan
Marcus felt a wave of nausea crash over him. His hands shook violently as he watched his innocent, motherless six-year-old child sobbing on camera, forced to repeat scripted lies about domestic abuse.
He turned to Sarah, his chest heaving, his dark eyes filled with a terrifying, silent rage.
“Why?” Marcus whispered, his voice trembling with heartbreak and fury. “Why would you do this to a child?”
Sarah backed away toward the living room, her defensive facade crumbling completely. Her blonde hair fell out of its elegant bun, her breathing ragged.
“You think you’re so smart, don’t you?” Sarah spat, her tone turning venomous and arrogant. “You thought you could just keep your late wife’s twenty-million-dollar estate in a trust exclusively for Lily? You thought I was going to sit here and play sweet stepmother forever while you left everything to a child?”
The truth slammed into Marcus like a freight train.
Two years ago, when Marcus’s first wife, Elena, passed away in a tragic car accident, her family’s massive inheritance was locked into an irrevocable trust for Lily. Marcus was only the manager. If anything happened to Marcus’s reputation or custody rights, a court-appointed guardian would take control of the funds.
