Chapter 26 - FACING THE CAGED ENEMY
The following afternoon, Carter walked into the stark visitation room of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.
He sat behind the thick partition glass wearing a sharp navy suit, looking completely calm and detached.
Victoria was led into the room by two correctional guards, her hands chained securely to her waist belt.
Her vibrant red hair was dull, her face aged and pale without cosmetics, wearing drab state-issued orange scrubs.
She sat down across from Carter, looking at the handsome billionaire with eyes filled with bitter regret and defeat.
"Why did you agree to see me, Carter?" Victoria asked, her voice raspy and devoid of its old socialite arrogance.
"To tell you that your efforts to destroy my family failed completely," Carter answered, his voice icy and steady.
"My wife is healthy, my newborn twins are thriving, and your family empire is gone forever," he added plainly.
Victoria wept silently behind the glass, realizing that her cruelty had only succeeded in ruining her own life.

Carter stood up slowly, turning his back on her as he walked out of the prison room into the bright afternoon sun.
