HE POISONED HIS WIFE'S MORNING TEA , BUT SHE SERVED IT TO HIS MOTHER INSTEAD AND WATCHED - EPISODE 5
"The Tides of Betrayal"
The cool night air hit Sophia like a rush of freedom as she and Clara sprinted out the front door. The adrenaline that surged through her veins was a cocktail of terror and exhilaration. They couldn’t stop now. Not when they were so close to bringing Marcus down.
Clara was right behind her, clutching the vial like it was a lifeline. Sophia knew that if they could get it to the authorities—if they could prove Marcus’s guilt—there would be no going back. His game would be over.
But Marcus wasn’t the kind of man who gave up easily.
They reached the car parked on the curb, and Clara yanked open the door. "Get in!" she urged, her voice tight with urgency.
Sophia slid into the passenger seat, her mind still racing, trying to piece together everything that had happened. Marcus was dangerous, but he was also predictable in his own way. He thrived on control, on manipulation—but he had underestimated her. He didn’t expect her to fight back, didn’t think she would be capable of turning the tables on him.
But now, she had the power.
Clara slammed the door shut and started the engine, peeling away from the curb in a cloud of dust. Sophia glanced in the rearview mirror, half-expecting to see Marcus’s dark figure looming in pursuit. But the street behind them was empty. It was quiet. Too quiet.
The silence in the car was heavy, suffocating, as if both of them were waiting for something to happen. It was only when they reached the highway, the bright lights of the city beginning to flicker on in the distance, that Sophia spoke.
"Clara, we need to make sure we’re doing the right thing. Marcus has connections—powerful ones. If we go to the police with this…" She trailed off, her voice faltering.
Clara’s grip on the wheel tightened. "I know, but we have no choice. He tried to kill you, Sophia. He tried to kill Mom. This isn’t just about us anymore. We need to end this."
Sophia’s thoughts went to the vial in Clara’s hand—the proof of Marcus’s twisted plans. She knew Clara was right, but doubt still gnawed at her. Was it enough? Would they be able to convince anyone? Would they even be able to make it that far?
Her phone buzzed in her pocket, snapping her from her thoughts. She pulled it out, seeing an unfamiliar number flashing on the screen.
"Hello?" she answered, her voice tight.
"Sophia, this is Detective Harding," came the deep voice on the other end. "I’m with the local precinct. You don’t know me, but I know about Marcus. I’ve been investigating him for some time now. I have people in place—your mother-in-law’s condition was alarming, and we’ve been following your case. We’re already on our way to intercept him."
Sophia’s heart skipped a beat. “What do you mean, intercept him? Where is he?”
“He’s a dangerous man,” the detective continued. “We’ve been building a case against him for months, but we couldn’t move against him directly until we had irrefutable proof. We’ve been watching you, Sophia. You made the right choice.”
Sophia’s breath caught in her throat. "Wait… you’ve been watching me? This whole time?"
Harding paused, then replied, "We had to be sure. We needed to see how far Marcus would go before we moved in. We knew you were the key, Sophia. You’re the one he underestimated."
Sophia could feel the weight of the world shifting, the realization dawning that the game was not over—not for her. Not yet. "I’ve got the proof," she said, her voice steady despite the storm brewing inside her. "The vial. Marcus used it to poison me. To poison my mother-in-law. We have to get it to you."
There was a pause on the line. Then Harding spoke again, urgency lacing his voice. "Listen carefully. We need to move fast. Marcus is onto you. He knows you have the vial, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get it back. Head to the address I’m sending you. We’ll have a safe house set up. I’ll make sure you’re protected."
Sophia’s blood ran cold. “He’s coming for us.”
Harding’s voice was calm but firm. "We’ll handle it. Just get to the address. Do not go anywhere else."
The line went dead, and for a moment, Sophia just stared at the phone in her hand, a mix of disbelief and dread seeping into her bones. He was coming. He was always coming.
Clara glanced at her with a worried expression. "What happened? What did he say?"
Sophia exhaled, trying to push away the rising panic. "He knows. Marcus knows we have the proof. We need to get to a safe house. Now."
Clara’s foot pressed harder on the gas, the car roaring down the highway. "We’ll make it. We have to make it."
The world outside the car blurred as they sped toward the address Harding had sent them. The lights of the city flickered in the distance, a thousand stories unfolding beneath them. But Sophia couldn’t shake the feeling that time was running out.
As they neared the safe house, Sophia’s phone buzzed again. This time, it was a text from an unknown number.
I know what you’re doing. You’ll regret it, Sophia. I’m coming for you.
Sophia’s breath hitched. He was already on his way.
