Chapter 5 - The Evidence
The next morning, Marcus and his mother returned to the gala venue.
David Sterling was already there, reviewing the security footage.
"Uncle David, what did you find?"
David gestured toward the monitors.
"The cameras caught everything. Isabella grabbed your wife. Pushed her. And then did absolutely nothing to help."
Marcus watched the footage.
Anger and relief warred within him.
Anger at Isabella.
Relief that they had proof.
"Can we use this?"
David nodded.
"Absolutely. I've already had copies made and stored in multiple locations. Isabella can't destroy it."
Marcus's mother spoke.
"We also need to investigate her financial records."
"Already on it," Marcus said. "I had my private investigator start looking as soon as Khloe was stable."
His mother raised an eyebrow.
"Your private investigator?"
"I've had him on retainer for years. I don't get to where I am without staying ahead of people like Isabella."
David nodded approvingly.
"That's exactly the right move."
Marcus looked at the footage again.
"This isn't just assault. This is attempted harm to an unborn child. That's a felony."
David smiled.

"Exactly what I was thinking."
