Chapter 4 - The Legal Trap
Three months prior to the wedding, Victoria had discovered a secondary ledger hidden inside Adrian’s private home office vault.
The ledger revealed that Adrian had not only stolen forty million dollars from his own firm's investors, but he was also planning to execute a forged power-of-attorney clause thirty minutes after the wedding ceremony.
Knowing that reporting him without ironclad proof would allow his high-priced attorneys to stall the charges, Victoria feigned total submission.
She allowed Adrian to believe his intimidation tactics were working, agreeing to every wedding requirement while secretly partnering with federal financial prosecutors and state police.
She scheduled her private medical examinations with certified forensic physicians, securing timestamped photographic evidence of every injury Adrian inflicted on her.
Furthermore, she installed keystroke tracking software on Adrian's laptop, logging every message exchanged between Adrian and Vanessa regarding the embezzlement scheme.
