Chapter 2 - The Masked Monster
To the high-society elite of Manhattan, Adrian Blackwell was the charming, philanthropic CEO of Blackwell Global, a rising hedge fund firm.
Two years ago, Adrian met Victoria Vance, a brilliant corporate defense attorney and sole heiress to the Vance Maritime Trust. Adrian saw Victoria not as a partner, but as the ultimate financial prize that could save his failing firm from bankruptcy.
Behind closed doors, Adrian was a manipulative, abusive sociopath.
He systematically isolated Victoria from her colleagues, monitored her phones, and inflicted physical injuries where no one could see them—under her clothes—warning her that if she ever spoke a word, he would use his political connections to ruin her family's firm.
To make matters worse, Adrian had been conducting a public affair with Vanessa, a ruthless socialite who helped Adrian draft fraudulent documents to seize Victoria’s inheritance post-marriage.
Vanessa had even attended the wedding ceremony, sitting in the front row, eagerly waiting for Adrian to secure the multi-million-dollar maritime trust.
They believed Victoria was completely broken, terrified, and desperate for peace.
