Chapter 18

MARK'S POV:

"All your evil plans will come out soon." Brenda warned.

Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a siren pierced through the air, indicating the imminent arrival of the police.

Brenda averted her gaze from me and strode purposefully towards Sarah, her footsteps echoing against the floor.

Paul, who happened to be my cousin and also a member of the police force, was one of the officers who responded at my house.

As soon as he arrived, he made a beeline towards me and pulled me aside. It was clear that he wanted to have a private conversation with me, away from the commotion.

"Hey Mark, have you heard about what's been going on with your wife, Sarah, lately?" Paul asked me.

I let out a sigh and shook my head. "All I know is that I can't find my daughter anywhere," I replied, frustration evident in my voice. I clenched my fists and pointed angrily in Sarah's direction. "That witch is probably behind it all," I added, my anger towards her simmering just below the surface.
