Chapter 2: Three Years of Lies

Police investigators arrived before sunrise.

The safe revealed documents no one expected.

Medical records.

Forged signatures.

Bank transfers.

And one shocking video.

Three years earlier...

Elena had discovered Vivian secretly draining millions of dollars from the Castillo Foundation through fake charities.

When Elena threatened to expose her, Vivian acted first.

She bribed the family's personal physician.

Elena was injected with powerful sedatives and declared mentally unstable.

Every time Alejandro traveled overseas searching for his wife...

Vivian quietly brought Elena back into the mansion through a hidden service entrance.

Drugged.

Weak.

Unable to remember entire days.

She was forced to clean the very home she legally owned.

The servants had been threatened into silence.

Anyone who questioned Vivian disappeared from the payroll overnight.

One gardener even admitted he had once tried helping Elena escape.

The next morning his entire family received anonymous threats.

No one dared try again.

Alejandro watched the surveillance footage with tears in his eyes.

He saw Elena scrubbing marble floors while Vivian hosted lavish parties upstairs.

He watched her collapse from exhaustion.

He watched Vivian order food thrown away instead of allowing Elena to eat.

Every second felt like another knife twisting into his heart.

Then investigators discovered one final file hidden inside the safe.

It was labeled:

"If Alejandro Finds This."

Vivian had prepared an escape plan.

Private jet.

Offshore accounts.

New identity.

She had never planned to face justice.

But Alejandro had already frozen every account.

The airport authorities confirmed the jet would never leave the ground.

For the first time in three years...

Vivian had nowhere left to run.
