Chapter 4: The Reckoning
The trial didn’t take long.
Men like Nathan don’t fall slowly.
They collapse all at once.
Every recording.
Every transaction.
Every lie.
Stacked against him like a mountain he couldn’t climb.
Celeste tried to turn on him.
Nathan tried to deny everything.
But truth doesn’t negotiate.
And evidence doesn’t forget.
The final moment came quietly.
The judge’s voice was steady.
“Guilty on all counts.”
Nathan turned toward me then.
For the first time…
Not with anger.
Not with arrogance.
But with something unfamiliar.
Fear.
“You planned this,” he said under his breath as they led him away.
I met his eyes.
“No.”
May you like
A pause.
“You did.”
