Chapter 9 - The Silk Robe Arrest
Adrian’s private security detail had contacted the FBI the second he confirmed the poison with his medical team overnight.
A dozen federal agents and local police officers swarmed into the dining room, their weapons drawn. Adrian calmly handed the lead detective the glass vial of poison, the forged Last Will and Testament his cyber-team had intercepted, and Marcus's suppressed weapon.
"Victoria Vance," the detective announced, reading the horrific evidence. "You are under arrest for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, massive wire fraud, and attempted extortion."
"Don't touch me!" Victoria wailed hysterically as the female officers forcefully hauled her to her feet.
They didn't let her change out of her ruined silk morning gown. They violently slapped heavy steel handcuffs over her wrists, completely snagging the delicate, expensive fabric.
The officers dragged the screaming, thrashing socialite directly through the center of the grand mansion. She was forced to do the ultimate walk of shame, paraded in handcuffs past every single elite servant and security guard she had treated like garbage for the last year.
Because the media had been tipped off, news cameras flashed wildly outside the front gates. They captured the arrogant, cruel fiancée being shoved into the back of a police cruiser, weeping like a pathetic criminal.
Her high-society reputation, her freedom, and her arrogant life were permanently, entirely destroyed. She was going to spend the rest of her natural life rotting in a federal prison.
