Chapter 13 - David Blocks The Back Exit With Cold Unyielding Fury
Word of Victoria’s pathetic escape attempt reached the mansion within minutes via secure radio dispatch.
David stood on the back stone patio, watching the rain wash clean the slate tiles of the courtyard.
“She really thought she could outrun the consequences of her own malice,” David muttered to himself.
Elena walked out onto the covered porch, draping a warm wool blanket over his broad shoulders.
“Let the law handle her, David; our focus is on healing our family and rebuilding our lives,” Elena advised.
“She tried to steal our entire lives, Elena; I want to ensure she never sees daylight again,” David vowed.
He pulled his wife close against his side, watching the storm clouds break to reveal a golden sunset.
The dark chapter of deception was closed, replaced by a horizon filled with hope and peace.
