I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

New evidence emerged in the case of Bianca's death, and the situation became clearer. Meredith took a boy and a woman to the police station and called Terrence Sterling to inform him of the situation. When Terrence learned the truth, he was not surprised; all clues had been pointing to Chloe, and now it was just a matter of lacking evidence.

Despite the presence of both eyewitnesses and physical evidence, Chloe refused to confess, and solving the case was still not easy. Terrence thought of a way to get Chloe to talk. Over the phone, he said, "Meredith, do this..."

At the police station, Chloe knew she would be released once 48 hours had passed without conclusive evidence against her. She watched the time closely; only fifteen minutes were left. Chloe sat quietly on a wooden bed, waiting to be let go. Throughout the days since Bianca's death, Chloe had been tormented internally. Before her murderous intentions, she had hoped Bianca would recover.

The sisters, having grown up together and sharing the same mother, had a deep bond. If Chloe could turn back time, she would never have acted as she did, and she regretted it deeply now. Still, Chloe was too proud to admit her guilt. Even with her heart in turmoil, she would not turn herself in.

Time passed, and no one came to release Chloe. After the 48 hours had expired, Chloe became anxious and started shouting, "Someone! It's been 48 hours. You have to let me go." No one responded to her calls.

About half an hour later, a police officer came and opened the door to Chloe's cell. "Come on out," he said. "Am I free to go?" Chloe asked, "Has my daughter come to bail me out?" The officer didn't respond. Following his superior's orders, he led Chloe to an interrogation room. "Sit here for a while until we process your release," he told her.

Chloe didn't think much of it and sat in the chair. The room was excessively cold, and Chloe felt goosebumps forming; she considered asking someone to turn up the air conditioning. Just then, the TV on the wall of the interrogation room turned on.

Instinctively, Chloe looked at the screen, which showed a video of the intensive care unit. Bianca was lying in a hospital bed, and standing beside her was Chloe herself. The footage showed the two arguing, exactly as it had happened on the day of Bianca's death.

Seeing this, Chloe's face turned pale, and her legs weakened. On the screen, Chloe was seen tampering with the IV drip. Bianca could no longer bear it and spat blood, pointing at her and crying out, "Chloe, Chloe..." Bianca's eyes were filled with disbelief and unresolved anguish as she stretched out her hand, seeking help from Chloe.

But Chloe did nothing, watching impassively as Bianca died. "Chloe, Chloe..." echoed hauntingly in the interrogation room.

"Sorry, Bianca, sorry," Chloe's tightly wound nerves snapped. She collapsed to the floor, begging for Bianca's forgiveness. "Sis, I didn't really want to kill you. I was blinded," she confessed under the overwhelming pressure of guilt and fear. As she confessed, the door to the interrogation room opened. Meredith, Terrence Sterling, and Officer Liam Michaelson stood at the doorway. Everything Chloe had just said and her reactions had been recorded by the surveillance system. Meredith had been watching from behind the glass wall outside the room.

At the moment of Chloe's confession and as she knelt, Meredith's emotions overflowed. She rushed in, grabbed Chloe's arm, and shouted angrily, "Chloe, how could you do it? She was your own sister, you killed our mother, you're a murderer!" Meredith's eyes were red with fury and filled with a murderous glare as she shook Chloe violently.

Terrence stepped forward, pulling her into his arms to calm her, as such emotional turmoil could be harmful to a pregnant woman.

"Sorry, Bianca," Chloe collapsed on the floor, offering no resistance. Emotionally exhausted from days of torment, her confession seemed to relieve her spirit. She had taken this fate upon herself, shielding Joy Chaucer from being implicated in harming Bianca.
