PART 2<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Dominic called forty-three times before midnight.<\/p>\n

I did not answer once.<\/p>\n

By morning, he changed his approach.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cYou attacked my mother,\u201d he wrote. \u201cCome home and apologize, or I\u2019ll make sure you walk away with nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria posted online that I was unstable, jealous, and desperate for attention. Paige uploaded a photo from my bedroom, wearing my silk robe, with the caption:<\/p>\n

\u201cSome women lose because they were never enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

I saved everything.<\/p>\n

Every insult became evidence.<\/p>\n

Every post became a record.<\/p>\n

And when Victoria ordered the security company to delete the footage from the mansion, that became another criminal charge.<\/p>\n

From a luxury hotel suite across the city, I watched them celebrate what they thought was my defeat while Sophia quietly built the case that would destroy them.<\/p>\n

The mansion\u2019s security system had recorded everything.<\/p>\n

The hallway camera showed Victoria following me toward the stairs. It captured her hand striking my back. The audio caught Dominic standing only a few feet away, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, not so hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he walked away while I lay unconscious.<\/p>\n

He had seen everything.<\/p>\n

And he had left me there.<\/p>\n

The company records were even worse.<\/p>\n

Dominic had been moving money into a shell corporation owned by Paige. Victoria had used company funds for jewelry, vacations, and political donations. They believed Dominic controlled the business because his name was on the building.<\/p>\n

But the voting shares belonged to me.<\/p>\n

At noon, my chief financial officer sent an emergency notice to every executive suspending Dominic pending a fraud investigation.<\/p>\n

His corporate cards stopped working while he was buying Paige a diamond bracelet.<\/p>\n

The jewelry store\u2019s security footage showed him smiling confidently as the clerk returned the declined card.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean it\u2019s frozen?\u201d he snapped.<\/p>\n

Minutes later, a locksmith arrived at the mansion with a court officer. Since the property belonged to my holding firm and Dominic\u2019s occupancy agreement had been terminated for criminal misconduct, he had forty-eight hours to leave.<\/p>\n

Victoria called me screaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou scheming little parasite! That house belongs to my son!\u201d<\/p>\n

I spoke to her for the first time since the fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. It belongs to the woman you pushed down the stairs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silence cracked across the line.<\/p>\n

Then Dominic grabbed the phone.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cAudrey, listen. I didn\u2019t know about the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou knew I was lying broken beneath you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother panicked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou stepped over me.\u201d<\/p>\n

His breathing turned ragged.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can fix this.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at the ultrasound photo Dr. Reed had printed for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no \u2018we\u2019 anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

That evening, Dominic held a press conference outside company headquarters. He claimed a mysterious investor was attempting a hostile takeover. He called himself the founder of the company and promised to expose the coward hiding behind lawyers.<\/p>\n

I watched from the top-floor boardroom.<\/p>\n

Sophia smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe still doesn\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d I said. \u201cLet him finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next morning, Dominic stormed into the emergency board meeting with Victoria and Paige behind him. All three looked dressed for battle.<\/p>\n

Then he stopped.<\/p>\n

Because I was sitting at the head of the table.<\/p>\n

The chairman rose.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Vance, meet Audrey Crestwood, majority owner of Vance Development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dominic\u2019s face went blank.<\/p>\n

He had chosen the wrong woman to destroy.<\/p>\n
