Everything collapsed at once.
People shouting.
Accusations everywhere.
My head spun.
Then Nora screamed.
"Yes!"
Silence.
Dead silence.
"I hated her," she continued.
"All my life."
My heart broke in ways I didn't know were possible.
"You got everything," she said.
"Dad's love. The inheritance. The perfect life."
Tears burned my eyes.
"So you tried to destroy me?"
Her expression hardened.
"I tried to take what was mine."
The police looked overwhelmed.
Victor looked stunned.
Amara squeezed my hand.
But Daniel suddenly spoke again.
Quietly.
And what he said chilled the entire room.
"You still don't understand."
Everyone turned.
He looked directly at me.
"This story isn't about money."
My heart stopped.
"Then what is it about?" I whispered.
Daniel smiled slowly.
"Revenge."
And somehow…
That word felt even more dangerous than everything before.
