Chapter 12 - Sienna Tries To Beg For A Second Chance
Back in downtown Chicago, Sienna Ashford sat in an empty, upscale restaurant booth waiting desperately for Elias to answer her calls.
Her credit cards had been declined one by one, and her designer wardrobe was already locked inside their repossessed penthouse.
When the restaurant doors swung open, she leaped up, expecting to see the powerful mafia boss coming to rescue her from ruin.
Instead, a junior Marchetti legal associate walked over to her table and tossed a single manila envelope onto her plate.
“What is this?” Sienna demanded, her voice cracking as she stared at the official court seal stamped on the front.
“Mr. Marchetti has filed a civil suit recovering every luxury gift, jewelry piece, and vehicle purchased during your engagement,” the lawyer stated.
“He can’t do this to me! I loved him! I stayed by his side when he was supposedly crippled!” Sienna shrieked hysterically.
“You proved your loyalty was tied exclusively to his bank accounts and social standing, Miss Ashford,” the lawyer replied flatly.
