Chapter 1: The Hand That Pointed

A frightened gasping sound echoed through the luxurious master bedroom as Victoria, her beige silk blouse rustling aggressively, hurled a heavy ceramic vase directly toward the bed.

"You useless old hag!" she hissed, her face contorted with pure malice.

Without hesitating, Elena, the young caregiver, threw herself over the bed, using her own body as a human shield to cover the frail elderly woman.

The solid porcelain smashed violently against Elena's spine with a sickening thud before shattering into a hundred jagged pieces across the polished hardwood floor.

Pain shot through Elena’s back, sending her collapsing onto the floor, barely able to catch her breath.

Without warning, the heavy double doors burst open.

Richard hurried into the room, his eyes wide with alarm.

Before anyone could speak, Victoria instantly shifted her posture, bursting into panicked tears and pointing a trembling finger at the groaning girl on the floor.

"Richard!

She att@cked her!

Look at what she did!

Call the police right now!" 😨

Fueled by immediate rage, Richard didn't wait for an explanation.

He lunged forward and forcefully sh0ved Elena away from the bed.

The hard impact sent her sprawling backward, her head striking the floor as a small trickle of bl0od ran down her lip.

"Get out of this house!" Richard roared, his voice shaking the walls.

"Richard, please listen to me!" Elena sobbed, holding her bruised side, her eyes pleading desperately.

"I was protecting her!

I swear on my life, I was protecting your mother!" 💔

Victoria stepped behind Richard, clasping her hands together in mock horror, pretending to pray while silently glaring down at Elena with cold triumph.

From the pillows, a frail, trembling hand gradually rose into the air.

The elderly woman’s fingers shook violently as she bypassed Elena completely and pointed straight at Victoria’s pale face.

"Not...

her..." the old woman rasped, her voice mounting with sudden, terrifying strength.

"Her!

It was HER!"

Richard froze, his expression blank with confusion.

"Victoria...?"

"Richard, ignore her!

She's confused!

She doesn't know what she's saying!" Victoria stammered, backing away, her composure instantly crumbling.

The old woman sat up, her eyes wide with fury and panic, pointing directly at Victoria as she screamed at the top of her lungs: "She tried to kjll me!" 🔥
