Chapter 6 - The Secret Bloodline
The revelation that my husband had a secret sister completely knocked the wind out of my lungs.
Their entire marriage to me was nothing but a ten-year, perfectly orchestrated long con to steal my family's incredible wealth.
I pressed the cold barrel of the pistol against Sarah's forehead, demanding the rest of the truth.
"You are going to log into your secure hospital server right now and download all the surveillance footage," I ordered.
I knew the hospital cameras would clearly show my mother attacking Elodie and David paying off the security guards.
Sarah nodded frantically and crawled over to her sleek laptop resting on the kitchen island.
Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she accessed the hospital's private internal network.
A progress bar appeared on the screen, slowly downloading the massive video files onto a small USB drive.
"If my mother finds out you helped me, she will kill us both," Sarah whimpered while staring at the screen.
Suddenly, the heavy wooden door of the apartment was violently kicked open with a deafening crash.
David stood in the doorway, completely drenched in rain, holding a massive suppressed handgun.
He did not look surprised to see me; he looked completely annoyed and impatient.
Before I could even raise my pistol to defend myself, David aimed his weapon directly at his own sister.
He pulled the trigger twice without a single second of hesitation.
Sarah gasped in complete shock as two bullets struck her chest, sending her collapsing onto the ruined white carpet.
David stepped over his bleeding sister and pointed the smoking gun directly at my face.

"She was always demanding too much money anyway," David smiled coldly.
"Now I can just tell the police that the crazy fugitive mother murdered an innocent nurse during a home invasion."
