Chapter 9 - The Fall of the Abuser
"Tyler Vance," the marshal announced loudly over the noise of flashing cameras. "You are under arrest for grand larceny, bank fraud, forgery, extortion, and framing an innocent civilian."
The marshals grabbed Tyler’s arms, twisting them behind his back and snapping the cold steel cuffs onto his wrists.
Tyler thrashed wildly, screaming at Clara as he was forced to his knees in front of the entire Manhattan elite. "Clara! You ruined me! You were nothing without me! You’ll never survive in this city without my name!"
Clara looked down at her former abuser with calm, icy disgust.
"You were wrong about one thing, Tyler," Clara said softly, her voice carrying absolute power. "I didn't need your name to survive. I just needed to show everyone who you really were."
The marshals hauled Tyler through the ballroom doors into the waiting police vehicles outside, his desperate screams fading into the cool night air.
