Chapter 9 - The Federal Guillotine
The heavy mahogany doors of the grand dining room violently swung open.
Four heavily armed federal agents marched directly into the opulent penthouse. They completely bypassed the shocked billionaires and walked straight up to the weeping, disgraced fiancée writhing on the floor.
"Diana Vance," the lead federal agent barked loudly, aggressively grabbing her by the arms and hauling her to her feet. "You are under arrest for grand larceny, massive corporate espionage, and making criminal threats against a minor."
Diana screamed and cried in total, undeniable disgrace as the heavy steel handcuffs snapped loudly around her wrists, completely stripping her of her fake wealth, her arrogant pride, and her untouchable high-society future.
"Marcus, don't let them take me!" Diana wailed hysterically, her elegant blonde updo completely unraveling as the agents forcefully dragged her away from the dining table.
Marcus didn't even look at her. He didn't offer a single microsecond of mercy.
She was forcefully dragged backward out of the penthouse, her desperate screams echoing down the marble hallway before the heavy doors violently slammed shut, permanently erasing her from Marcus's life.
