A lab report appeared next, followed by a video of Naomi speaking from a chair, pale but composed.
“These tests confirm long term poisoning,” she said, looking directly into the camera, “and I allowed it to continue so I could understand everything.”
Elliot tried to interrupt, claiming she was unstable, but even the priest spoke quietly.
“She sounds clearer than anyone in this room right now.”
Then came the final blow.
Naomi revealed his debts, the promises he made to dangerous people, and the plan he had to use her death as payment.
The room erupted again, voices overlapping in disbelief and horror.
“You cannot prove any of this,” Elliot shouted desperately.
“I already did,” Naomi replied.
He lunged forward in panic, but detectives restrained him instantly, forcing him back into the aisle as his composure collapsed completely.
Naomi’s final message played, her voice softer now but far more powerful.
“I was never weak, and I refused to let my story end the way you wanted.”
