Chapter 7 - Brad Begs For Mercy As His Cards Collapse

Brad was hauled toward the front door in handcuffs, his expensive suit dragging awkwardly against the pristine floor.

“You’ll pay for this, Elena! You won't get away with stealing everything I worked for!” Brad screamed at the top of his lungs.

“Everything you worked for? Brad, you haven't held a real job in four years without my corporate backing,” Elena reminded him.

The heavy front door slammed shut behind the officers, leaving Victoria alone in the devastating silence of the kitchen.

Victoria slowly slid down the side of the kitchen island until she sat crumpled on the marble tiles.

“Please... just let me pack my clothes, Elena. I didn't mean any of the things I said,” Victoria sobbed quietly.

Elena stopped at the foot of the stairs, turning back to look down at the woman who had tormented her.

“Your emerald silk robe and designer clothes are already packed in trash bags on the front porch,” Elena stated neutrally.

Victoria looked up in absolute shock, realizing that Elena had anticipated every single move she would make.
