Chapter 4: Justice Arrives
By sunset, police officers entered the mansion.
Victoria no longer cried.
She begged.
"Please..."
"It was an accident..."
"No one has to ruin my life."
The lead detective placed handcuffs on her wrists.
"You planned the assault."
"You attempted financial fraud."
"You tampered with evidence."
"And your recorded statements contradict the surveillance footage."
Victoria looked desperately toward Daniel.
"You love me..."
Daniel's voice remained steady.
"No."
"I loved the person you pretended to be."
As officers escorted her outside, television cameras were already waiting.
The story spread across every major news outlet before midnight.
"The Heiress Who Faked Being the Victim."

Victoria buried her face from the cameras.
For the first time, no one believed her tears.
