The daughter-in-law barely managed to turn around to respond when she felt the push. Her yellow dress rose into the air as she lost her balance and fell into the void. The mother-in-law was convinced that, without the heiress, the estate would end up coming into her hands sooner or later, as the only living relative of the late businessman.
The unexpected twist that changed everything
However, the fall was not what the aggressor expected. Instinctively, the young woman managed to cling during the descent to the metal structure of a service platform located just a few meters below the edge of the roof.
Her hands slipped on the icy metal, the wind shook her dress, and her legs dangled in the void, high above the city. Several employees who were on the terrace saw the scene and began to shout for help.
The building’s security personnel reacted quickly. Two men went down a technical ladder and, in less than a minute, managed to catch up with the woman and lift her onto the platform. He was trembling, his hands were bloody from the cuts caused by the metal, but he was still alive. Minutes later, the rooftop was filled with police and medical personnel.
