Maya’s desperation

Arthur took his place in the witness box, his voice heavy with regret. "It was me. I was behind the fire."

A hush fell over the room, everyone straining to hear the shocking confession.

"I bribed an electrician—someone who regularly checked the hospital's wiring. He loosened some connections, causing the short circuit that started the fire. The goal was to destroy the DNA sample."

Dexter approached him and asked, "Why did you want to destroy the sample?"

Arthur's eyes flicked toward Maya, who was now rigid in her seat. He hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Maya tampered with the first DNA test, making it appear as though Silas' semen was found on her. But Silas never raped her. It was a setup to frame him."
