Chapter 5 - The Victorious Exit
Clara turned around at the front door, pushing it open to reveal the cool night air. She looked back over her shoulder at the three pathetic, stunned people standing in the entryway.
Her wavy blonde hair caught the glow of the porch light, and a cool, victorious smile spread across her face.
"Enjoy the house tonight," Clara delivered in a quiet, decisive whisper. "Just wait until morning."
She walked out the door, pulling it shut behind her. The heavy deadbolt instantly locked with an impenetrable, automated thud.
Eric scrambled to the door, grabbing the handle and pulling frantically, but it wouldn't budge from the inside without Clara’s digital authorization. They were locked inside the house, completely trapped until the morning deadline.
Clara calmly loaded her suitcases into her luxury SUV and drove to a five-star hotel downtown, where she enjoyed a peaceful, quiet night's sleep, ordering expensive room service and drinking champagne.
She woke up at 7:00 AM, feeling completely refreshed and entirely free from the heavy, toxic burden she had carried for three years. She called her attorney and requested that the local police escort the locksmiths to the property precisely at 8:00 AM.
