Chapter 3: The Truth Behind the Disappearance
Alejandro opened the diary with shaking hands.
Page after page described the nightmare.
The night Elena disappeared, Vivian had invited her to the mansion under the excuse of discussing a charity event.
Instead, Elena had been drugged.
When she woke up, Vivian convinced everyone—including several corrupt doctors—that Elena was suffering from severe psychological trauma and required isolation.
Forged medical reports.
Bribed lawyers.
Paid-off security guards.
Every piece of evidence had been carefully manufactured.
Whenever Elena tried to escape, Vivian threatened the servants.
"If she leaves," she would say, "every one of you loses your family, your home, and your future."
Most obeyed out of fear.
Others secretly helped Elena survive.
Then Alejandro found the final page.
It had been written only two days earlier.
If Alejandro is still looking for me... tell him I never stopped loving him.
A tear rolled down his face.
At that exact moment, the head of security rushed into the room carrying a hidden hard drive recovered from Vivian's private office.
The recordings showed everything.
Vivian bribing officials.
Destroying Elena's passport.
Intercepting every letter.
Even forcing Elena to work as a maid inside the Castillo mansion while convincing everyone she was merely an anonymous servant.
There was no denying the truth anymore.
When the police arrived, Vivian tried to run.
She didn't make it past the front gate.
