Chapter 10 - The Ultimate Reward
The chaotic, violent energy completely evaporated from the beautiful American estate.
Marcus sat with Dorothy in the grand living room, watching as his private medical team carefully bandaged her hand. The quiet, dignified maid had risked her own life, enduring physical abuse and terrifying threats, entirely to protect a man who had barely noticed her.
Marcus looked at her, his heart filled with overwhelming, profound gratitude.
"You saved my life, Dorothy," Marcus said softly, his voice thick with emotion. "You could have run away. You could have ignored it. But you stayed."
"It was the right thing to do, sir," Dorothy replied humbly, looking down at her bandaged hand.
Marcus didn't just offer her a simple thank you. He was a billionaire, and he believed in absolute, life-changing justice.
Six months later, Vanessa was sentenced to forty years in a federal penitentiary without the possibility of parole. Her bankrupt parents were also indicted for their role in the conspiracy.
Dorothy never wore a maid's uniform again. Marcus paid off all her family's medical debts, established a massive, multi-million-dollar trust fund in her name, and paid for her to attend the prestigious university she had always dreamed of. She became a close, fiercely protected friend of the Bennett empire, completely secure and entirely free.
