The room fell into a heavy, suffocating silence as the small vial sat on the table.
Arthur stared at the tiny bottle, his heart breaking into a thousand heavy pieces inside.
He had given Victoria everything she had ever wanted during their five years of marriage.
He bought her the grand mansion, luxury cars, and unlimited access to his vast bank accounts.
Yet she had planned to end his life just to collect on his massive life insurance policy.
Arthur: Why would you do this to me, Victoria? I loved you with all my heart!
Victoria: Arthur, please listen to me! It is not what you think at all!
Arthur: You tried to poison my drink right in front of my own eyes!
Victoria saw that her sweet act was no longer working, and her face turned cold.
She dropped her gentle tone completely and glared at him with pure, sharp hatred.
Victoria: You were never going to give me control of the family estate or trust fund!
Victoria: I was tired of waiting for my fair share of the money you hoarded!
Arthur slammed his hand hard onto the table, making the fine china plates rattle loudly.
Arthur: You are a monsters, Victoria! You cared about nothing except my wealth!
Elena stepped back toward the kitchen wall, keeping her eyes fixed on the dangerous woman.
Victoria turned her sharp gaze toward Elena, her eyes burning with terrifying, crazy anger.
Victoria: You ruined everything, you miserable little servant! You ruined my whole life!
Victoria lunged forward suddenly, reaching her hands out toward Elena in wild rage.
Arthur immediately stepped between them, blocking his wife with his sturdy, tall body.
Arthur: Do not you dare touch her! She just saved my life from your evil plot!
Victoria stumbled back, tripping over her silk robe as she gasped for quick air.
She realized that her entire lavish lifestyle and grand freedom were coming to an end.
The police would be arriving soon, and she would lose every single thing she owned.
She looked around the grand room like a trapped animal searching for a quick escape.
