Chapter 15 - David Walks Out On Rachel After Discovering Truth
The deputies turned their attention back to Rachel, who was still screaming obscenities and demanding our immediate arrest.
“Ms. Rachel Vance, you are in direct violation of state harassment laws and suspected property fraud. Step against the wall,” the deputy ordered.
Rachel’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief as steel handcuffs clicked tightly around her wrists with a harsh metallic sound.
“You can't arrest me! I am a pillar of this community!” she shrieked as she was hauled toward the back of the cruiser.
David stood motionless by his car, watching his sister get locked inside the patrol vehicle without offering a single word of defense.
He looked across the pavement at me, his eyes filled with profound remorse, regret, and silent heartbreak.
“Elena... I’m so sorry for everything,” David whispered, his voice trembling as he took a slow step forward.

“Stay back, David. The restraining order is active, and your apologies are two decades too late,” I replied coldly.
I closed the motel door in his face, locking the deadbolt firmly to shut out the final remnants of my broken marriage.
