Chapter 8 - The Corporate Eviction
Two men in dark tailored suits stepped out from the main ballroom entrance, walking with measured, professional strides directly toward the head table. They were Claire’s personal legal council and a senior investigator from the state fraud division.
"Daniel Vance," the lead investigator announced loudly, stopping behind Daniel's chair. "You are hereby served with an emergency freeze order on all accounts associated with your name, as well as a formal summons for grand larceny."
The investigator placed a thick white envelope on Daniel's plate, right on top of his untouched wedding dinner.
Daniel looked up at Claire, tears finally spilling over his pale cheeks. "Claire... please... I love you! Don't do this to me! I'll work three jobs! I'll pay back every single cent!"
"You didn't love me, Daniel," Claire replied, her voice filled with a calm, dignified sadness. "You loved my bank account, my dignity, and my silence. You said this morning that as your wife, I would control everything. Now you're free."
