Chapter 10 - The New Queen
Six months later, Celeste was officially sentenced to twenty-five years in a maximum-security federal penitentiary without the possibility of parole. Without her stolen money, she was entirely invisible, forced to rot in a concrete cell while the city completely forgot her name.
The stolen funds were entirely returned to the children's hospital, exactly where they belonged.
Laurel completely transformed. She wasn't a weeping, humiliated victim crawling on the floor anymore. She walked into Damian’s massive corporate headquarters wearing a stunning, tailored designer suit, commanding the absolute, undeniable respect of every single enforcer in the building.
Damian had hired her as his Chief Financial Officer, 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.
Laurel stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of her new corner office, looking out over the bright, glittering city skyline. She had survived the absolute worst emotional abuse and public humiliation imaginable, brilliantly stood her ground, and emerged completely, undeniably victorious.
