Chapter 3 - Vanessa Collapses Under The Weight Of Her Cruelty
The last frames of the video showed Vanessa locking the metal latch and casually walking back toward the house to pour sparkling water.
The television screen went black, leaving the expansive living room suffocated by an abyss of heavy, condemning silence.
Vanessa’s knees buckled beneath her expensive cream silk dress, and she collapsed hard against the polished marble floor.
“Adrian... please... let me explain! The children were driving me insane with their endless noise!” she sobbed hysterically.
Adrian did not look down at her; his cold, hollow gaze remained fixed on the dark television screen.
“You locked my five-year-old daughter and toddler son inside a filthy doghouse because they played with a blue ball,” Adrian said icily.

“It was just a harmless lesson in discipline! Every mother loses her temper sometimes!” Vanessa shrieked, clutching at his trousers.
Adrian stepped back deliberately, completely removing himself from her desperate, trembling grasp.
