Chapter 8 - The Federal Raid
The heavy mahogany doors of the grand ballroom burst open with a deafening crash.
A dozen heavily armed federal agents in tactical gear marched into the elegant room, their badges flashing under the crystal chandeliers.
Vanessa let out a horrific, blood-curdling scream of pure despair as she realized the authorities had actually arrived.
"Vanessa Vance," the lead federal agent announced, walking straight up to the weeping woman kneeling in the shattered glass. "You are under arrest for massive corporate fraud, document forgery, grand larceny, and extortion."
"No! Please!" Vanessa wailed pathetically, thrashing wildly as the massive agents pulled her up and roughly secured cold steel handcuffs around her wrists.
The sharp click of the cuffs snapped the arrogant thief back into the horrific reality of her crimes. Her flawless blonde updo was completely ruined, and her gold sequined gown was torn and stained with spilled champagne.
"Nathan, have mercy!" Vanessa sobbed, dragging her feet as the agents pulled her toward the doors. "I can make you richer! Don't let them take me!"
"You showed my family no mercy," Grace replied quietly, stepping forward.
The elite crowd, completely disgusted by the massive federal crimes they had just witnessed, turned their backs on the screaming woman.
