Chapter 11 - Silencing the venomous socialite with an emergency restraining order that bans her from coming within five hundred feet of the estate.
Victoria sat in the holding cell of the federal courthouse, waiting for her arraignment hearing before Judge Katherine Vance.
Her public defender slid a thick packet of civil documents across the cold metal table with a solemn, exhausted expression.
"Mrs. Vance, your husband's legal team has secured an emergency civil restraining order and initiated divorce proceedings," the lawyer said.
Victoria snatched the papers, her eyes scanning the bold legal headings that banished her from the estate permanently.
"Prohibited from approaching within five hundred feet of Mason Vance, the residence, or any corporate or personal property," she read aloud.
"If you violate this order, your bail will be revoked and you will await trial in maximum security," the lawyer warned strictly.
Victoria slammed her fist against the table, her face contorted in an ugly mask of impotent rage and bitter defeat.
