Chapter 10 - The Ultimate Takeoff
Victoria walked slowly down the hallway, stopping just a few feet away from her treacherous husband.
"I'm not evicting you, Julian," Victoria stated with calm, cinematic realism. She handed a thick folder to the lead police officer. "I'm having you arrested."
The officer opened the folder, reviewing the notarized bank statements and the transcript of the pet camera recording.
"Julian Black, you are under arrest for grand larceny and federal wire fraud regarding the unauthorized transfer of eighty thousand dollars," the officer announced, stepping forward and aggressively twisting Julian’s arms behind his back. The heavy steel handcuffs clicked shut with a satisfying, final snap.
"No! Wait! It's community property!" Julian wailed pathetically, tears of pure humiliation streaming down his face as the officer read him his Miranda rights.
Sina backed away in horror, raising her hands defensively. "I had nothing to do with this! I didn't steal anything!"
"Your name is on the receiving offshore account, Sina," Victoria replied coldly, offering the blonde woman a terrifyingly calm smile. "The officers will be taking you downtown for questioning as a co-conspirator."
Sina shrieked as the second officer grabbed her arm, completely shattering her glamorous facade.

Victoria stood in the pristine hallway, watching the police drag her screaming, crying husband and his mistress into the elevator. The toxic weight was finally gone. She turned around, unlocked her door with her new key, and grabbed her packed suitcase. She had a first-class flight to catch to Bora Bora, and she was going to enjoy her honeymoon completely alone.
If you were Victoria, would you have warned Julian before freezing his accounts, or was trapping him on the island the perfect revenge?
