Mark took his smartphone out of his front pocket with a shaking hand.
He immediately dialed the three digit emergency number for local police assistance.
Sarah: Please do not call the police on me, Mark!
Sarah: We can talk about this like two reasonable adults!
Mark: Yes, hello operator, I need emergency police at my home address immediately.
Mark: My wife has been putting chemical poison inside my morning drinks.
Sarah gasped and sprinted toward the front entrance of the spacious house.
Mark ran after her and slammed the heavy front door shut before she escaped.
He locked the deadbolt and stood firmly in front of the exit door.
Mark: You are not going anywhere until the officers arrive here.
Sarah: You are ruining our family over a silly mistake!
Mark: You tried to take my life away from me and our daughter!
While they waited, Mark looked at the folded legal papers from her purse.
He unfolded the papers and read the bold black title printed at the top.
It was a massive life insurance claim form ready for a quick payout.
Sarah had recently named herself as the sole beneficiary of his huge policy.
She stood to inherit over two million dollars if Mark suddenly passed away.
Mark felt a deep emotional sting in his heart at the clear betrayal.
He had trusted Sarah completely since the day they got married four years ago.
Mark: You did all of this just for the inheritance money?
Sarah: You never gave me the freedom I wanted in this marriage!
Mark: I gave you everything you ever asked for in this home!
Sarah: It was never enough for the life I wanted to live!
Loud police sirens began to sound outside down the quiet suburban street.
Mark looked out the side window and saw two red lights flashing brightly.
He knew that their lives were changing forever in that exact moment.
