Chapter 6 - Victor's Perfect Trap CollapsesVictor was arrested two weeks later.
Not for murder.
Not yet.
For insurance fraud.
Investigators discovered he had submitted falsified medical records claiming I suffered from a terminal condition.
He had also altered my insurance documents.
Then came the financial investigation.
His accounts were frozen.
Serena's apartment was searched.
The police found boxes of documents.
Photographs.
Letters.
A second phone.
And a file labeled:
ELENA — FINAL PLAN.
Inside was everything.
The mountain route.
The weather forecast.
The insurance policy.
My expected funeral date.
Even a draft obituary.
I read it once.
Then closed it.
I didn't need to see more.
Victor had planned my death like a business transaction.
Now the state would treat it like one.
But the biggest revelation came from Serena.
She confessed.
She told investigators everything.
Victor had promised to marry her.
He had promised her half the insurance money.
He had even purchased a ring.
The same ring he planned to give her after my funeral.
During questioning, Serena finally broke.
“He told me Elena would never know.”
Detective Reed asked:
“Did you know he intended to kill her?”
Serena cried.
“Yes.”
“Why didn't you stop him?”
“I thought he was bluffing.”
That answer would haunt her.
It wouldn't save her.
The prosecution charged Victor with attempted murder, conspiracy, insurance fraud, and multiple financial crimes.
The evidence was overwhelming.

But Victor still refused to believe I was alive.
Until the day I walked into the courtroom.
