Chapter 12 - Federal Marshals Arrive With Warrants For Victoria’s Arrest
With Victoria safely in federal custody, Prosecutor Miller turned his attention toward Dominic and the young housekeeper standing nearby.
“Thank you for securing the physical evidence, Mr. Vance; those property deeds are the smoking gun we needed for Sterling’s indictment,” Miller said.
“Make sure they both rot in federal prison for the rest of their natural lives, Miller,” Dominic instructed with a firm nod.
“Consider it handled. We’ll also be sweeping the estate grounds for any secondary surveillance devices Victoria may have installed,” Miller added.
As the federal team fanned out across the mansion to conduct their sweep, Dominic walked over to where Elena was standing.
He noticed her wrists were still bruised purple from the iron chains, and a pang of deep guilt struck his chest.
“I am so sorry you had to endure that abuse under my roof, Elena... I should have investigated her behavior months ago,” Dominic apologized sincerely.
“You didn't know, Mr. Vance... nobody could have predicted how far her greed would go,” Elena replied softly, looking down at her hands.
“You saved this estate from absolute ruin today, Elena, and I intend to make sure you are properly rewarded for your loyalty,” Dominic vowed.
