Chapter 11 - The Sudden Eviction Notice Delivered To The Estate
While Clara enjoyed her morning coffee, a loud pounding echoed against the metal door of Elena's temporary apartment.
Elena woke up with a start, her hair tangled and her designer clothes wrinkled from sleeping on a sofa.
She staggered to the door, peering through the peephole to see two county sheriff deputies standing in the dim hallway.
She unlocked the latch cautiously, cracking the door open just a few inches to block their view.
"Elena Vance?" the lead deputy asked, holding up a legal clipboard.
"No, you have the wrong apartment," Elena lied smoothly, attempting to shut the door in his face.
The deputy placed his heavy boot against the wooden frame, preventing it from closing.
"County eviction notice backed by Vance Global Real Estate holdings; you have fifteen minutes to vacate the premises," he stated firmly.
"You can't do this! My lease is paid through the end of the month!" Elena screamed, tears of frustration stinging her eyes.
"Your lease was terminated at midnight when your financial backing was legally revoked," the second deputy added, stepping inside.
They began setting her garbage bag luggage out onto the hallway floor without an ounce of sympathy.
Elena fell to her knees, clutching her head as neighbors opened their doors to stare at the disgraced socialite in disgrace.
