He held up a letter written in Elena’s handwriting:
“If anything happens to me, Eduardo must know that Victoria Martínez has been planning my death. She has copies of my keys, knows my schedule, and threatened me last week, saying she would take everything from me— even my life, if necessary.”
The Truth Behind the Perfect Plan
Victoria collapsed onto the sofa. There was no point denying it anymore. For months, she had meticulously planned Elena’s death—studying her routines, learning basic mechanics, waiting for the perfect moment.
“I… I didn’t want it to be this way,” she whispered through tears. “I just wanted her to leave us alone. To divorce you and move on with her life.”
Eduardo stared at her with disbelief and disgust.
“So when Elena refused to divorce me, you decided to kill her?”
“She said she’d tell you everything about us. That she’d sue me for seducing a married man. That she’d make sure I could never come near you or Sofía,” Victoria sobbed uncontrollably. “I couldn’t lose this life, Eduardo. Not after growing up with nothing.”
“So you sabotaged her car, followed her that night, and when you saw she survived the initial impact…” Eduardo stopped, unable to finish the sentence.
