Chapter 19 - Vanessa Sits Silently Inside the Cold County Jail
Inside a sterile, windowless holding cell at the county jail, Vanessa sat staring at the concrete floor.
Her designer clothes had been replaced with a coarse orange jumpsuit that itched against her skin.
Her former defense attorney had dropped her case after realizing the mountain of digital and physical evidence.
She had no money, no allies, no fake belly to hide behind, and no corporate backup to save her.
The reality of facing twelve to fifteen years in a federal penitentiary finally set in with crushing weight.
She buried her face in her hands, letting out a bitter, lonely sob that echoed down the empty cell block.
Her greed had destroyed every bridge she ever built, leaving her completely isolated in the cold dark.
Outside the facility walls, the world moved on without her, shining brightly on the family she tried to ruin.
Karma had delivered its final, unyielding judgment upon her elaborate web of manipulative lies.
