CHAPTER 6 — JUSTICE FOR THE OLD MAID

Months later, the trial began.

The courtroom was packed.

Victoria faced charges for attempted murder, kidnapping, and fraud.

Daniel also stood before the judge.

Not as a victim.

But as someone who made a choice.

Emma testified.

“I loved him.”

The courtroom became silent.

“But love does not excuse betrayal.”

Margaret was called next.

The old maid walked slowly to the witness stand.

Victoria looked at her with hatred.

“You should have stayed silent.”

Margaret smiled.

“I stayed silent for thirty years.”

“Not one day longer.”

Her testimony destroyed Victoria’s defense.

The recordings.

The documents.

The evidence.
