Chapter 2: The Truth Beneath the Deck
"Stop the video!"
The woman screamed.
"It's fake!"
But the recording continued.
Another camera inside the engine room activated.
Everyone watched as she loosened fuel lines.
She connected a small electronic timer beside the fuel pump.
Then she carefully wiped away her fingerprints before leaving.
The timestamp showed it had happened less than twelve hours earlier.
The billionaire felt his legs weaken.
"You..."
He stared at the woman he had trusted for eight years.
"Why?"
Tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"I had no choice."
"My debts..."
"My investors..."
"If you died, your insurance policy would solve everything."
Gasps echoed across the harbor.
The billionaire slowly removed his wedding ring.
"You planned to murder me."
She reached toward him.
"I still love you."
He stepped away.
"No."
"You loved my money."
At that moment, police vehicles raced into the marina.
The chief of security had already forwarded the footage.
Officers surrounded the dock.
The woman tried to run.
She barely reached the parking lot before officers tackled and handcuffed her.
As they led her away, she turned toward the boy.
"This is your fault!"
The child quietly lowered his eyes.
May you like
"No."
"You did this yourself."
