My Husband Tried To Pull The Plug On My Life For $2m. He Didn’t Realize I Could Hear Him Whispering His Plan. Now I’m Awake, And I’m Coming For Everything.
The Truth Revealed
“We have the proof,” Miss Wallace interjected calmly. “Your Honor, we request permission to play the legally obtained electronic evidence: an audio recording from the victim’s phone just before the incident, hospital security footage, and forensic data from the defendant’s laptop.”
Rick’s previously calm face grew tense. He whispered frantically to Davies, but his lawyer could only stand silently as the judge approved the motion. The courtroom fell completely silent. As the technician played the first audio file, a crackling sound filled the room. Then came Rick’s voice, clear, cruel, unfiltered.
“Sign it or die, Eleanor. Sign these asset transfer papers now.”
The sound of a loud slap—smack—then my muffled cry.
“When you’re gone, I get the insurance payout. Two million dollars, Eleanor. That’s more than enough to pay off my gambling debts and live comfortably with my mother. So what’s it going to be? Die slowly or sign it now?”
The entire courtroom gasped. The murmurs turned into a wave of shock. The faces in the gallery that had been looking at me with scorn were now pale. The voice was so real, so sadistic, a complete contradiction to the patient husband image Rick had built on social media.
Rick looked down, his hands gripping his knees. Cold sweat poured down his temples.
“That… that’s a deep fake! AI!” Rick suddenly shouted, jumping to his feet. “She’s a doctor! She’s smart! She could make anything!”
“The defendant will be seated,” the judge barked.
“If the defendant denies the audio,” Miss Wallace said with a small triumphant smile, “let’s look at the visual evidence. This is a video the victim secretly recorded from a closet while the defendant was on the phone.”
The video played on a large projector screen. Rick was seen pacing in our bedroom, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his face furious.
“Don’t worry man. My wife is taken care of. The stairs in our house get slippery when wet. A little push… domestic accident. The cops will never suspect a thing. The payout comes through next week. I promise.”
Silence. This time it was a horrified silence. But our attack wasn’t over. Miss Wallace had saved the final bomb to destroy Brenda’s credibility and the cheating wife motive they had constructed.
“Your Honor,” Miss Wallace continued, “the defense accuses the victim of having an affair. However, the data recovered from the defendant’s laptop reveals the opposite. We submit as evidence bank transfers from the defendant’s account to a Miss Cindy, as well as photographs of them together.”
The projector screen changed. A list of bank transfers appeared, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last six months. Money I had worked day and night to earn. Money meant for Lily’s future. And the final devastating blow was the last photo: Rick with his arm wrapped lovingly around a young woman in a lavish apartment. The woman wore a tight dress that accentuated her pregnant belly.
“Mr. Henderson used money extorted from his wife and planned to use her life insurance payout to finance another woman who is currently carrying his child from their illicit affair,” Miss Wallace stated firmly.
The courtroom erupted.
“Son of a bitch!” A man in the back shouted.
But the most chilling reaction came from Brenda. The old woman’s face was ashen, as if all the blood had been drained from it. Her eyes widened, staring at the screen then shifting to her stepson with a look of utter disbelief. For Brenda, money was God. To see family money funneled to another woman was the ultimate betrayal.
“Rick…” Brenda’s voice trembled, cutting through the chaos. “Is this true? You said that money was for a mining business venture. You said Eleanor was the one spending recklessly.”
Rick couldn’t answer. He shrank further in his seat, his shoulders shaking. He knew he was finished. His masks—devoted son, wronged husband—had been smashed to pieces in front of his mother, the law, and the entire country.
Mr. Davies wiped his face with a handkerchief, looking defeated. He knew the case was lost.
