Chapter 10 - The Syndicate's New Chef
Six months later, Beatrice was officially sentenced to fifteen years in a federal penitentiary without the possibility of parole. Without her stolen money, she was entirely invisible, forced to rot in a concrete cell while the estate staff completely forgot her name.
The stolen wages were entirely returned to Meline and the rest of the lower staff, exactly where they belonged.
Meline's life completely transformed. She wasn't a weeping, abused maid crawling on the floor anymore. She walked through the massive, luxurious dining room wearing a stunning, tailored designer dress, commanding the absolute, undeniable respect of every single employee in the building.
Alessandro didn't just offer her an apology. He made her the Head of Estate Operations and the Executive Chef for the syndicate, instantly tripling her salary and ensuring she never had to worry about a single financial problem ever again. Her mother was completely safe and beautifully cared for in the private medical facility.
Meline stood in the warm golden lighting of the dining room, looking perfectly at home among the heavy antique silver.
She had survived the absolute worst emotional abuse and physical humiliation imaginable, brilliantly stood her ground, and emerged completely, undeniably victorious.

If you were Meline, would you have testified against Beatrice in federal court, or was letting Alessandro's ledgers send her to prison the absolute perfect revenge?
