A fraud built from the beginning.
But the story still wasn't finished.
There was one mystery none of us could explain.
Why had Caroline been so certain the evidence was inside Sophie's condo?
Laura claimed she never told her that.
Martin said he only knew Alex had once hidden evidence somewhere connected to Evelyn.
Somebody had directed Caroline toward the condo.
Somebody who knew details even Laura didn't.
For months, Maya investigated.
Nothing.
Eventually, life began moving forward.
Sophie sold the condo.
She couldn't live there again.
Alex offered to buy her another home.
She refused his money.
Not because she hated him.
Because she needed to build something herself.
She rented a small apartment near the museum where she worked and returned gradually to normal life.
Normal changed.
She checked locks twice.
She didn't like people standing behind her.
For months, she woke at night if someone knocked too loudly in the hallway.
