Chapter 14 - Brenda Receives An Unexpected Visitor Inside The Holding Cell
Deep in the subterranean holding facility, the heavy iron door of Brenda’s cell creaked open in the dim fluorescent light.
Brenda looked up from her concrete bench, expecting a guard with food or water, but instead saw Claire walking into the room.
Claire wore an immaculate black wool coat, her green eyes fixed on Brenda with an expression of absolute, freezing disdain.
“You look terrible, Brenda. Desperation doesn't suit your high-society aesthetic,” Claire said coldly, stopping two feet from the cell bars.
Brenda stood up slowly, wiping her torn dress and forcing a bitter, arrogant sneer onto her bruised lips.
“You think you’ve won everything with your little architectural empire, Claire, but you’re blind to what’s coming,” Brenda hissed through the iron.
“I know all about your Cayman Islands accounts, your fake shell companies, and your failed attempt to steal Moretti assets,” Claire replied calmly.

“You’re just a cold-hearted corporate bitch who ruined my life!” Brenda screamed, lunging forward to grab the iron bars with both hands.
“No, Brenda. You ruined your own life the moment you decided to touch a pregnant woman in my family,” Claire whispered, turning away.
