Chapter 3 - The Sabotaged Brakes
To understand the sheer, unhinged evil of Grant’s betrayal, one had to look back exactly three weeks to the horrific accident that put Natalie in the wheelchair.
Natalie was the founder and majority shareholder of a massive, multi-million-dollar software company. Grant was just a mid-level manager she had fallen in love with. Three weeks ago, while driving down a steep, winding mountain road after a corporate retreat, Natalie’s brakes had completely, catastrophically failed.
Her SUV had smashed violently into a concrete barrier. She had suffered a severe concussion, a shattered collarbone, and temporary paralysis in her legs due to extreme spinal swelling.
For three weeks, Grant had played the role of the perfect, grieving husband. He sat by her hospital bed, crying for the cameras, holding her uninjured hand, and accepting the sympathy of her wealthy corporate board.
But Natalie wasn't stupid. She was a brilliant engineer.
She knew her car. She had just taken it in for a full, premium service a week before the crash. Brakes on a brand-new luxury SUV didn't just magically evaporate. While trapped in her hospital bed, enduring agonizing physical therapy, a dark, terrifying suspicion had crept into her mind.
When Grant told her he had a mandatory "investor dinner" at a luxury hotel, Natalie had hired a private investigator to follow him.
