Chapter 17 - Brad Confronting Grace Outside Her Family’s Private Law Office

Driven to desperation, Brad staked out the entrance of Grace’s family law office in downtown Atlanta. As Grace stepped out of her black SUV flanked by private security, Brad rushed across the sidewalk toward her.
"Grace! Please, you have to listen to me! We can talk about this like adults!" Brad shouted frantically. The private security guards intercepted him instantly, pushing him back onto the concrete with professional force.
Grace stopped walking, turning her head slowly to look at the disheveled man standing before her. Her expression was completely devoid of anger, fear, or sadness—she felt nothing at all.
"You lost the right to speak to me the moment you brought another woman into our home, Brad," Grace said calmly. "And you lost your freedom the moment you decided to steal from my family."

"I made a mistake! People make mistakes!" Brad pleaded, his voice breaking with pathetic desperation. "No, Brad, a mistake is forgetting your keys; what you did was a calculated choice," Grace replied coldly.
She turned around and walked into the glass office building, leaving him stranded behind security barricades.
