Chapter 9 - The Empire Crumbles


"You cowardly bastard!" Samantha shrieked, lunging at Richard with her manicured claws extended. "You told me you wanted her gone so we could be together! You signed the transfer papers!"
The two billionaires, previously the most powerful couple in the room, began physically tearing at each other in the center of the gala, weeping and screaming accusations like trapped rats.
Arthur Sterling looked down at them with sheer revulsion.
"The acquisition is officially terminated," Arthur announced loudly, shredding the symbolic contract he held in his hand. "Furthermore, Richard, you used my fifty-million-dollar bridge loan to fund this gala based on fraudulent assets. That is federal bank fraud. You are completely bankrupt, and you are going to federal prison for a very, very long time."
Richard collapsed to his knees, burying his face in his hands, violently sobbing as his entire universe was ripped away in a matter of minutes.
The FBI agents moved in. They didn't care about the expensive tuxedos or the designer red gown. They forcefully grabbed Richard and Samantha by their arms, slamming cold, heavy steel handcuffs onto their wrists.
