Chapter 6 - The Cornered Rats
Vanessa completely shattered. The high-society, arrogant mistress mask evaporated, leaving a feral, desperate coward in its place.
"I didn't know!" Vanessa screamed hysterically, violently yanking the diamond ring off her finger and throwing it directly at Nolan's chest. "He told me he made the money from a bonus! I am not going to jail for you, you pathetic loser!"
"Vanessa, shut up!" Nolan panicked, trying to grab her arm, but she violently slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me!" Vanessa wailed, backing away toward the entrance. "I am calling my lawyer! We are done!"
Vanessa sprinted out of the exclusive restaurant, her red dress swishing, completely abandoning the man she had helped destroy a marriage for.
Nolan was entirely, irreversibly alone.
He looked at Graham, his arrogant facade completely crushed. He was a broke, cornered rat facing a massive federal indictment.
"Graham, please," Nolan begged pathetically, tears of pure terror finally welling in his eyes. "I'll pay it all back! I'll work for free! Just don't call the police! I can't go to prison!"
Graham looked down at the weeping, humiliated man, his expression completely unreadable.
"I already called them," Graham stated coldly.
