Chapter 3: Graham Learns the Truth
As investigators searched the mansion, Graham sat alone in the library.
Claire entered quietly.
He looked exhausted.
"You used me."
She shook her head.
"No."
"I gave you dozens of chances."
He frowned.

"The week before the wedding."
"This morning."
"I waited every single time for you to choose kindness over control."
His eyes lowered.
"You still could have stopped all this."
Claire's voice remained calm.
"So could you."
She placed a tablet in front of him.

Multiple camera angles.
Crystal-clear audio.
"You ended your own future."
Graham buried his face in his hands.
