Chapter 9 - The Perfect Rebound
Six months later, Sebastian was officially sentenced to twenty-five years in a maximum-security federal penitentiary for massive corporate fraud and wire embezzlement. Because Claire had flawlessly provided the concrete, encrypted digital evidence, his expensive corporate lawyers couldn't save him. He was entirely bankrupted, forced to rot in a concrete cell while the high-society world completely forgot his name.
Without Sebastian's stolen money, Camille was violently evicted from her luxury condo. She was forced to move into a tiny, rundown apartment, utterly alienated and entirely stripped of her arrogant, high-society delusion.
Claire's life completely transformed.
The federal courts immediately, aggressively unfroze her massive inheritance, legally recognizing her as the sole, innocent victim of her husband's financial abuse.
She didn't go back to the toxic, controlling environment of Chicago. She bought a breathtaking, sun-drenched estate on the coast of California, completely surrounding herself with peace, healing, and absolute freedom.
She wasn't a heartbroken, silenced wife fighting back tears in a hotel ballroom anymore.
She walked into the bright, beautiful nursery of her new mansion, holding her perfectly healthy, beautiful newborn baby. She was wearing a comfortable, elegant sweater, entirely safe and fiercely protected by her own brilliant intellect.
