“This morning, while I was preparing for what I believed would be our wedding, Derek came to my apartment with Sienna and three men.”
Several people exchanged startled looks.
I continued.
“They brought documents intended to make me appear responsible for eight million dollars in financial obligations that I had never agreed to assume.”
Derek shook his head.
“That was just emergency paperwork!”
“Then why did you instruct those men to force their way into my apartment?”
He fell silent.
I let the question remain unanswered for a moment.
Then I said, “We have video and audio recordings. The authorities have received copies.”
His shoulders dropped.
Sienna stepped away from him.
I turned toward her.
“And there was another set of documents.”
Her face changed immediately.
I didn’t display my private medical information to the room.
Those records were evidence, not entertainment.
But I would no longer allow either of them to pretend that the threat hadn’t existed.
