Dangerous Marriage Buried Forever
Chapter 5
I suspected something was off, so I suggested she participate in the dance troupe's annual assessment. I didn't expect her to orchestrate her leg injury and then frame it on me.
Killing two birds with one stone.
When Steve came home, he was soaked from head to toe and the doctor had already sent Hailey home.
The phone rang and he answered impatiently.
It was Elios's terrified voice.
"Steve, I found Helena. S-She's dead … she died at the amusement park."
Steve calmly wiped the water from his head and threw the towel to the housekeeper.
"Are you joking? Are you trying to take me for a ride? She works so hard just for money, not for her life! How could she go to the amusement park in a typhoon?"
Elios's voice was on the verge of tears. "You just don't understand Helena. She's such a dedicated person, she would never abandon the amusement park and run off to another country. I don't believe a word you said!"
"She's not home or at work, so she must be at the amusement park! The wind is strong and my head hurts. I’ve called the police. Please come quickly."
"Beep!" Steve hung up.
"Honey, who is it? Are you going out?" Hailey snuggled up to Steve, rubbing her head against his leg.
"A scam call."
He gently stroked her head, adding Elios's number to his blacklist.
"There are so many scammers these days. Come on, I'll wheel you to the bedroom."
The elevator reached the second floor and the nanny rushed out of the study in panic.
"It’s bad, Mr. Sullivan. The study is flooded."
The study was a mess. Steve went in to help move the soaked documents out.
In a flash, I caught sight of an old, yellowed newspaper article about that roller coaster accident.
Looking closer, there was a familiar face among the survivors.
Steve! I called out desperately.
Come and look at this photo. It's Hailey!
How could she be involved in that accident?
I tried everything I could to get Steve's attention.
Finally, his gaze shifted as if he noticed the newspaper I was pointing at.
