Chapter 14 - Returning To The Empty Suburban Mansion To Pack
Julian drove a rented sedan back to the sprawling suburban mansion he had purchased for his bride months ago.
The house was completely dead, the smart security system blinking a red warning light across the empty foyer.
He walked up the grand staircase into the master bedroom, pulling a large duffel bag out of the walk-in closet.
He tossed his remaining personal clothes into the bag, stopping when he noticed a locked metal box on the top shelf.
Using a small brass key he found behind the desk molding, Julian popped the metal latch open.
Inside were personal journals belonging to Chloe, detailing her cold, calculated plan to trap him into marriage.

Julian closed the box tightly, tossing it into the duffel bag alongside his shirts as definitive proof for the trial.
