Chapter 6 - The Unraveling of Julian Harper
Inside the precinct interrogation room, the full extent of Julian’s crimes was laid bare on the steel table.
Victoria, acting alongside the State's Attorney, presented a thick binder of financial cross-checks, forged bank documents, and electronic transfer receipts showing how Julian had systematically drained Sarah’s modest savings while she was receiving chemotherapy treatments.
Sitting across the table, handcuffed and stripped of his arrogance, Julian stared at the evidence in despair.
"She was my sister!" Julian stammered. "She owed me that money! Our grandfather gave her the estate trust because she was the 'favorite'!"
"She gave you money three times to help you pay off gambling debts, Julian," Victoria countered coldly. "And when she refused to give you more because she needed it for Madison’s medical care and the triplets' future, you forged her power of attorney."
Christopher sat quietly in the corner of the interrogation room, holding a copy of Sarah's personal journals that police had recovered from her apartment.
He opened the journal to a page dated six months prior.
“If anything happens to me, I know Julian will try to take what little I have left for the children. My only hope is that Christopher remembers the man he used to be before the work consumed him. I hope he looks at the boys and sees his own heart.”

Christopher closed the journal, looking at Julian.
"The trust fund Sarah left behind won't be touched by you or anyone else," Christopher said calmly. "I have placed it into an irrevocable trust for Madison, Tommy, Jake, and Leo, fully managed by independent corporate trustees. You will spend the next ten years in state prison, Julian. And you will repay every single cent you stole from your sister."
