Her once slicked hair was dull and unwashed, her expensive emerald pantsuits replaced by rough canvas prison uniforms.
She watched a small wall-mounted television screen showing Grace Vance receiving an international humanitarian award in London.
Victoria gripped the thin cotton mattress, her knuckles turning stark white as pure, toxic bitterness consumed her soul.
"It's not fair..." Victoria spat through her teeth, her voice hollow and trembling with insane fury.
"She was supposed to die in Queens... she was supposed to disappear forever..."

A heavy iron door slammed shut in the hallway, locking Victoria inside the dark shadows of her eighteen-year federal sentence.
Her life of privilege, vanity, and ruthless deception was permanently over, buried beneath concrete walls and steel bars.
