Susan nearly fainted when she saw him alive. “You died in that car,” she said hoarsely, grabbing the edge of the desk. “Not today,” Arsen replied coolly, tossing copies of the documents in front of her.
“It’s over. Police already know you injected my father with a fatal dose of medication and paid for a false medical report.” At that moment, Oleg entered the room and stopped short at the sight of his brother.
Outside, sirens wailed as tactical officers moved onto the property. Realizing she was cornered, Susan yanked a revolver from the desk drawer and fired at Arsen. He dodged. The bullet struck Oleg in the shoulder instead.
A scream rang through the house. Officers rushed in and restrained Susan within seconds. “My attorneys will get me out,” she spat as handcuffs clicked around her wrists. Oleg was rushed out to an ambulance.
The investigation eventually proved the full scope of the family’s crimes, including the murder plots. Not long after, Larissa was arrested at the airport along with her brother, a chemist who had been manufacturing the poisons. Together, the two had built a lucrative business off the deaths of trusting businessmen.
Once his own name was cleared, Arsen turned his attention to Julia’s case. He pushed for a full review, and in time her wrongful conviction was overturned. Her record was cleared, and her good name restored.
Not long after that, Julia went into labor and gave birth to twin boys—Tyler and Samuel. During the hospital discharge, Arsen noticed distinctive birthmarks on the babies that looked exactly like his own. After learning the name of their late father, he ordered a DNA test.
The results stunned everyone: Daniel, the corrections officer who had died in prison, was Arsen’s biological brother.
Years earlier, their mother had kept one son and placed the other into the foster system. Arsen gladly took responsibility for his nephews and made sure Julia and the boys had everything they needed. Over the next six months, mutual gratitude and affection slowly grew into love, and the two were married in a quiet, beautiful ceremony.
