Chapter 6 - Claire Cries Out Desperately As Handcuffs Tighten Hard
Outside on the suburban driveway, the flashing red and blue lights of the police cruiser cast eerie shadows.
Claire thrashed violently against the rear door of the squad car as Officer Miller pushed her into the back seat.
“You’re ruining my life over a brat who isn't even mine! My father will sue this entire department!” Claire shrieked.
“Save your speeches for the magistrate, Ms. Vance; your digital trail is already being printed out downstairs,” Officer Miller said.
The heavy metal door slammed shut, cutting off her shrill screams and sealing her inside the confines of the patrol car.
Neighbors peeked out from behind their living room blinds, whispering in shock at the sudden police raid on the quiet street.
Claire pressed her face against the tinted glass, watching her pristine suburban life evaporate into absolute nothingness.
She had spent two years climbing into Daniel’s life through manipulation, lies, and calculated sabotage of his first marriage.
Now, her own web of deceit had tangled around her neck so tightly that she couldn't even draw a clean breath.
