Chapter 25 - Giving the cornered socialite one final chance to plead guilty before prosecutors demand the maximum forty-year federal prison sentence.
On the eve of the federal trial, Victoria sat across from the prosecutor in a gray holding jumpsuit, looking utterly defeated.
"Mrs. Vance, your co-conspirators have already taken plea deals, leaving you facing forty years on multiple felony counts," the prosecutor stated.
Victoria looked down at her cuffed hands, knowing her lies had completely collapsed under the weight of irrefutable digital evidence.
"I'll plead guilty to all counts... I just want this nightmare to end," Victoria whispered, tears streaming down her pale cheeks.
"Sign the confession documents and enter your guilty plea in court tomorrow morning," the prosecutor instructed coldly.
Victoria picked up the pen with shaking fingers, signing away the final shreds of her dignity and social standing.
The trial would be swift, the sentencing harsh, and the prison sentence long enough to last the best years of her life.
