Chapter 5 - The Boutique Manager Steps Forward With Original Recording

The boutique manager, a tall man in a tailored gray suit, stepped out from behind the bridal display racks.
“Mr. Caruso, our security system automatically archives every second of footage in high definition,” the manager stated.
Jessica turned toward him, her eyes wide with unadulterated terror as she realized her trap had failed.

Daniel released Jessica’s wrist, stepping forward to accept the flash drive from the manager’s outstretched hand.

Jessica dropped to her knees on the marble floor, her expensive wedding dress pooling around her like silk water.

“Daniel, please... let’s talk about this in private! Don't ruin our lives over a misunderstanding!” she begged pathetically.
