My husband shoved me off an icy cliff when I was nine months pregnant, planning to collect my $50 million life insurance policy, then stood at my funeral beside his mistress pretending to mourn me. But Brandon had made one fatal mistake: neither I nor our unborn son was inside that coffin, and while he played the grieving widower, I was already preparing to come back from the dead.

"She's an impostor!" Brandon suddenly screamed, pointing a shaking finger at me as he looked frantically at the board members. "She's a fraud! Look at her! Nora died on the mountain! The police confirmed it! Call security! Throw this crazy woman out!"

None of the board members moved. They looked at Brandon with cold, disgust-filled eyes.

Agent Ramirez stepped forward, pulling a heavy dossier from his leather coat.

"Brandon Hayes, you are under arrest for attempted first-degree murder, attempted feticide, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, and grand larceny," Ramirez announced calmly.

"You have no proof!" Brandon yelled, backing further into the glass wall. "It was an accident! An ice shelf collapsed! You can't prove a damn thing!"

"We don't need to," Evelyn Vance spoke up, placing a digital tablet on the conference table and pressing play.

Gretchen’s voice instantly filled the boardroom, clear and unedited, recorded during her interrogation four hours earlier:

“Brandon planned it all. He bought the life insurance policy six months ago. He picked Glacier National Park because of the remote location and the incoming blizzard. He told me he’d give me ten million dollars to act as his alibi and help manage the estate once she was gone. He pushed her. I saw him do it.”

Brandon’s face turned an inhuman shade of purple. "That lying bitch!" he roared. "She told me to do it! It was her idea!"

The entire boardroom gasped. The Vanguard insurance director closed his folder with a heavy click.

"Thank you, Mr. Hayes," Agent Ramirez said, pulling a pair of steel handcuffs from his belt. "That confession made our job significantly easier."

Two marshals stepped forward, grabbing Brandon’s arms and pinning him against the glass window. He fought wildly, kicking and screaming, his face pressed flat against the freezing glass as the cuffs clicked around his wrists.

"Nora! Please!" Brandon sobbed, tears finally spilling over his cheeks as he was dragged toward the door. "I was confused! She manipulated me! I love you! Think about our baby!"
