Chapter 16 - Victoria Screams Empty Threats While Handcuffed In Disgrace

Miles away in a maximum-security federal holding facility in Manhattan, Victoria paced her sterile concrete cell in a blind rage.
Her designer burgundy silk robe had long been replaced by a coarse orange jumpsuit that clashed violently with her dyed blonde hair.
“Let me out of here! Do you know who my father is? My lawyers will sue this entire federal department!” she shrieked through the bars.
The guard stationed outside her cell didn't even blink, continuing to chew his gum in unbothered silence.
The reality of her lifetime prison sentence without parole was slowly setting in as the trial dates approached rapidly.
All her offshore accounts had been frozen, her fake identity was exposed, and her high-society friends had completely abandoned her.
She had gambled everything on a greedy scheme to steal a billionaire's empire and ended up losing her entire freedom instead.
Her desperate screams echoed down the cold, metallic hallway, fading into nothingness against the heavy steel doors.
There was no rescue coming, no corporate ally to bail her out, and no escape from the consequences of her unforgivable crimes.
