Chapter 8 - The Ally Who Betrayed Everyone
The video played.
Arthur Vance appeared beside Julian.
The same man who called me dramatic.
The same man who applauded while I was on the floor.
He was not just aware.
He was involved.
Arthur admitted he wanted Julian to control my trust because he believed the Vance family deserved it.
Not me.
Not my baby.
The family.
The word said everything.
I looked around the ballroom.
The people who claimed to love me had spent months deciding my life without me.
The FBI agents arrested Arthur.
Beatrice started crying.
But I felt nothing.
Because some betrayals are too deep for tears.
Then Julian surprised everyone.
He stepped forward.
“I did it.”
The room went silent.
He looked at me.
“I made the choices.”
For a second, I saw the man I married.
The man who knew right from wrong.
Then he ruined it.
“But I did it because I was desperate.”
I shook my head.
“Everyone has a reason.”
The agent received another call.
His expression changed.
“What?”
He listened.
Then looked at me.
“Mrs. Vance…”
My heart stopped.
“What?”
