Chapter 18 - Vanessa Sits Alone In A Cold Holding Facility

Inside a sterile, fluorescent-lit federal holding facility across town, Vanessa sat alone on a cold metal bunk bed.
Her designer clothes were replaced by a standard orange jumpsuit, stripping away every last illusion of her high-society status.
No lawyers answered her emergency calls, and her powerful father refused to send a single message of support or sympathy.
She was entirely alone, trapped by the very web of greed, manipulation, and cruelty she had spun over the years.
