Then my father showed me one last message.
I had received it from Chloe that very morning.
It said:
"Victor assures us that Elena's problem will be resolved soon. After the accident, she'll be too busy with Maya to review the accounts."
I felt like the world stopped.
I read those words three times.
Then I looked up.
—Dad, when did you get this?
His face was completely white.
-Today.
—And why didn't you go directly to the police?
He lowered his head.
—I was afraid of losing Chloe.
I felt the tears burning in my eyes.
—And you almost lost Maya.
At that moment, Daniel appeared in the doorway.
He had his phone in his hand.
—Elena, the investigators need to talk to you.
I got up.
—Did they find anything?
His expression was serious.
—They have located the truck driver.
I felt my heart pounding in my chest.
—What did he say?
Daniel took a deep breath.
—He claims that someone offered him money to intercept your car.
