Chapter 4 - The Master Manipulator
To the outside world, Vincent Vance was a devoted husband and a rising star at a prestigious wealth management firm. He had married Sabrina five years ago in a lavish coastal ceremony, promising her a life of security, luxury, and unwavering devotion.
Sabrina had given up her own blossoming career in interior design to support Vincent’s relentless ladder-climbing. She managed their home, handled his social calendar, and stood by him through endless late-night "client dinners" and last-minute "interstate business trips."
Whenever Sabrina questioned his long absences or the sudden coldness in his touch, Vincent had a masterclass in manipulation ready. He would hug her gently, buy her expensive jewelry, and tell her she was being overly sensitive due to her pregnancy hormones.
He made her doubt her own intuition. He made her feel guilty for even asking where he was.
When Sabrina went into labor two weeks early, she called Vincent’s phone twenty-four times. Every single call went straight to voicemail. While she lay in the hospital bed, hooked up to IV drips and monitors as doctors rushed to stop severe internal bleeding, Vincent was miles away.
