Chapter 4 - Vanessa Attempts A Desperate Escape From The Ballroom
Vanessa’s face twisted into a mask of pure panic and malice as she realized her elaborate web of lies had completely unraveled.
“You’re both insane! This is a coordinated conspiracy to ruin my social standing and steal my corporate shares!” Vanessa shrieked.
She spun around on her high heels, lifting the heavy silk hem of her maroon gown as she sprinted toward the side exit doors.
“Stop her!” Nathaniel commanded, his deep voice echoing off the marble floors with thunderous authority.
Before Vanessa could reach the brass handle of the ballroom doors, two massive security guards stepped directly into her path.
They crossed their arms with unyielding strength, blocking her exit and forcing her to stumble backward into the center of the room.

“You can’t keep me here against my will! I am a partner in this estate!” she screamed, her voice cracking with hysteria.
