Chapter 10 - A Sister's Justice
Six months after the dramatic honeymoon arrest, the federal trial of Ethan Vance concluded in Miami.
Faced with his own recorded confession, the forensic accounting evidence, and the recovered voicemails, Ethan pleaded guilty. The judge showed zero leniency, sentencing the billionaire heir to twenty-five years in federal prison without the possibility of early parole.
His father publicly disowned him, stripping Ethan of his name and the fifty-million-dollar trust fund.
Through a massive civil lawsuit settlement orchestrated by Maya’s legal team, Clara received a ten-million-dollar restitution payout from the Vance Corporation.
On a bright, sunny afternoon in Chicago, Maya pushed Clara’s high-tech wheelchair along the beautiful, paved paths of a lush botanical garden.
Clara, wearing a bright yellow sundress, laughed joyfully as she watched the butterflies flutter around the blooming flowers. The settlement money had paid for the best physical therapy and medical care in the world, and Clara was finally finding peace and happiness again.
Maya walked beside her sister, her posture relaxed, her heart completely free from the shadows of revenge.
She had sacrificed a year of her life, walked into the lion's den, and dismantled a corrupt billionaire’s empire to protect the sister she loved.
