Chapter 8 - The Confession
The color completely drained from Gregory’s face. His arrogant, comfortable facade instantly shattered into a million pathetic pieces. He began to hyperventilate, clawing frantically at Vincent’s iron grip.
"I... I don't know what you're talking about!" Gregory choked out, sweat immediately beading on his forehead. "You're crazy!"
Vincent’s hand shot down to Gregory’s suit jacket pocket. He reached inside and violently yanked out the expensive, missing gold watch.
Vincent held the stolen watch up in front of Gregory's face.
"My sister saw you take it," Vincent stated, his voice devoid of any mercy. "My sister, who has the financial wire transfers my father sent you exactly two days before my mother's car went off the canyon road."
Gregory stopped fighting. His entire body went limp against the bookshelf. The realization that he was completely, undeniably trapped washed over him. The decades of hiding, the name changes, the arrogance—it was all over.
"He made me do it!" Gregory shrieked, tears of sheer panic ruining his face. "Your father threatened to kill my family if I didn't cut the lines! I had no choice, Vincent! I was just a mechanic!"
