Chapter 3: The Secret Hidden Under The Mattress
The officer looked at Lucas carefully.
āSon, what are you trying to tell us?ā
Lucas looked at Rosa.
Then at his mother.
His voice became quiet.
āRosa didnāt steal anything.ā
Veronica stepped forward.
āLucas, stop.ā
But the boy continued.
āLast night, I saw Mommy hiding the jewelry.ā
The room became completely silent.
Rosa stared at him.
The officers exchanged looks.
āWhere did she hide it?ā
Lucas swallowed.
āUnder her bed.ā
Veronicaās face turned red.
āThatās impossible!ā
āHeās just a child!ā
But Lucas looked at her with tears in his eyes.
āI heard you talking.ā
āYou said Rosa would get blamed, and Daddy would fire her.ā
āYou said nobody would know you were selling things from the house.ā
Veronica stopped breathing.
Because her own son had just destroyed her lie.
The officers walked upstairs.
Everyone followed.
And when they lifted the mattressā¦
They found the velvet box.
The missing diamonds were inside.

Every single one.
Veronicaās plan collapsed in seconds.
