## Chapter 15 — Sophia Finally Confesses
Two weeks after her arrest, Sophia requested another interview.
This time she arrived without makeup.
Without expensive jewelry.
Without confidence.
Officer Lawson switched on the recorder.
Sophia stared quietly at the table.
"I want to tell the truth."
Jennifer simply nodded.
Sophia took a slow breath.
"I was jealous."
"Everyone loved Emily."
"The family."
"My parents."
"My brother."
"Even strangers."
"When she became pregnant..."
"I felt invisible."
She wiped away tears.
"I convinced myself that if her perfect life disappeared..."
"I'd finally matter."
The room fell silent.
Jennifer quietly asked,
"Was hurting Emily your plan?"
Sophia closed her eyes.
"No."
"But pushing her was."
She began crying.
"I never thought she'd fall that hard."
Jennifer turned off the recorder.
The confession matched the surveillance footage.
Matched Lily's testimony.
Matched Emily's statement.
The investigation was finally complete.
Only the court remained to decide Sophia's future.
