Elena gasped out loud and stepped back behind the sofa.
Julian backed away until his legs hit the glass balcony door.
His face lost all its color within a few seconds.
Julian: Clara, it was a terrible accident, I tried saving you!
Clara: You pushed me with both hands, you cold monster!
Julian: You are confused from the shock of the fall!
Clara held up a small black recording device in hand.
She had turned on her brooch microphone before the wedding.
She always recorded business meetings for safety reasons lately.
The tiny brooch had recorded every word on the balcony.
She pressed the play button on the small silver player.
Julian's evil laugh echoed loudly through the quiet room space.
His clear voice spoke the cold words through the speaker.
Recorded Voice: Bye-bye... HAHAHAHA! Elena, we finally did it!
Elena turned around and ran toward the back exit door.
A female deputy blocked the hallway exit route immediately.
The deputy snapped steel handcuffs onto Elena's small wrists.
Elena cried out in frustration as she was held down.
Julian tried to push past Marcus toward the open balcony.
Marcus grabbed Julian's tuxedo collar and slammed him down.
He pinned Julian onto the hard stone floor with ease.
He pulled Julian's arms behind his back firmly right away.
Julian: Get off me! I have rights in this state!
Marcus: You have the right to remain silent right now!
The metal cuffs clicked locked around Julian's pale wrists.
Julian looked up at Clara with pure hatred in eyes.
Clara walked closer and looked down at his lying face.
Clara: You thought I was weak because I trusted you.
Julian: You will never get your money back from banks!
Clara: The banks froze every transfer ten minutes ago, Julian.
Julian let out a desperate angry scream on the floor.
The deputies pulled him up and led him away outside.
Elena was led out right behind him crying out loudly.
Clara stood by the window looking at the bright sky.
The sun was still shining brightly over the ocean water.
Her attorney stepped into the living room with legal papers.
Attorney: The estate is safe, and they face life sentences.
Clara: Thank you, Charles. I am ready to start over.
