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

The boardroom became completely silent when I entered.<\/p>\n

Rain ran down the windows forty floors above the city. Adrian stood at the head of the table with his champagne glass still raised.<\/p>\n

Vanessa\u2019s face lost all color.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re supposed to be in the hospital,\u201d Adrian snapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was,\u201d I answered. \u201cThen you tried to take everything from me while I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He turned quickly toward the directors.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife is confused. Her doctors confirmed severe mental impairment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Patel entered behind my wheelchair.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe confirmed serious physical injuries,\u201d he said. \u201cHer thinking and memory remain fully intact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marcus placed a folder on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe medical summaries submitted to the court were altered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanessa pushed her chair backward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSit down,\u201d Eleanor ordered.<\/p>\n

Adrian forced a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cEleanor has no voting authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t need it,\u201d she replied. \u201cLena does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marcus activated the screen behind the conference table. The trust documents appeared, showing my fifty-two-percent controlling interest and the immediate cancellation of any authority obtained through deception.<\/p>\n

Adrian stared at the number.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou lied to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father protected his company from you,\u201d I said. \u201cI simply gave you enough freedom to prove that he was right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detective Ruiz then played the recording from the garage.<\/p>\n

Adrian\u2019s voice filled the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the brakes give out, the trust will transfer. She\u2019ll be gone before the auditors arrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

No one spoke.<\/p>\n

Vanessa reached for the laptop, but two federal investigators stepped between her and the table.<\/p>\n

Marcus displayed forged signatures, secret payments, offshore accounts, and the thumbprinted document Vanessa had filed that very morning.<\/p>\n

Her expression twisted with panic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou trapped me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d I said calmly. \u201cI survived what you planned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adrian moved around the table toward me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re nothing without me!\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked down at my injured arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have evidence, witnesses, control of the company, and a conscience,\u201d I said. \u201cFour things you never had.\u201d<\/p>\n

He lifted his hand in anger, but Detective Ruiz caught his wrist before he reached me.<\/p>\n

The directors watched as Adrian was escorted from the boardroom.<\/p>\n

Vanessa immediately blamed him.<\/p>\n

Adrian shouted that the foreign accounts belonged to her.<\/p>\n

Their partnership lasted only seconds once they realized neither could save the other.<\/p>\n

The criminal investigation progressed faster than our divorce.<\/p>\n

Adrian was charged with arranging the crash, conspiracy, financial fraud, and theft from the company. Vanessa accepted an agreement with prosecutors after they presented the marked transfer, the recordings, and the altered medical documents.<\/p>\n

Money recovered from their accounts was returned to the company, its employees, and the retirement fund they had secretly taken from.<\/p>\n

During sentencing, Adrian attempted one final performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved my wife,\u201d he told the judge.<\/p>\n

I stood in the courtroom gallery. My casts had been removed, though scars still circled my wrists.<\/p>\n

The judge looked at Adrian without sympathy.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou did not love your wife,\u201d she said. \u201cYou loved the access she gave you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He received twenty-eight years in prison.<\/p>\n
