Three police cruisers pulled up the long brick driveway of the Dallas mansion.
Nathan stepped out of his vehicle, followed closely by Marcus and two armed deputies.
The heavy front doors of the home were locked tight from the inside.
Deputy Vance stepped forward and knocked firmly on the thick wooden paneling.
Deputy: Police department! Open the door immediately!
After a moment, Victoria opened the door slowly, looking pale and deeply rattled.
She still wore her burgundy dress, but her hair was disheveled and wild.
Victoria: What is the meaning of this harassment on my private property?
Nathan: This is no longer your property, Victoria.
Marcus stepped forward and handed Victoria a thick stack of official court injunctions.
Marcus: You are being served with an emergency freezing order on all assets.
Victoria: You cannot do this to me! I am the rightful owner!
Deputy: Ma'am, step away from the door and keep your hands visible.
Victoria backed into the grand marble foyer, clutching her cane like a weapon.
Nathan walked inside, looking around at the gold trim and expensive artwork on walls.
Nathan: The private investigator you hired in Houston has confessed everything, Victoria.
Victoria's eyes widened in sheer panic as her cane slipped slightly from her grip.
Victoria: He is a liar trying to save his own skin!
Nathan: We have the bank records proving monthly payments signed by your own hand.
Marcus: District attorneys are preparing felony arrest warrants as we speak.
Victoria dropped her walking cane onto the marble floor with a loud clatter.
She sank down into a velvet armchair, looking suddenly frail and completely defeated.
Victoria: I did it to preserve this family's legacy and standing!
Nathan: You ruined lives out of pure greed and cold heartlessness.
Deputy Vance stepped forward and placed heavy steel handcuffs around Victoria's wrists.
Deputy: Victoria Vance, you are under arrest for fraud and extortion.
Victoria was led out of the grand mansion in handcuffs, weeping tears of anger.
Nathan stood alone in the center of the quiet foyer as silence settled over the room.
He walked over to the front entrance and waved for Elena and Maya to enter.
Maya walked into the grand hallway, looking around at the bright marble floor.
Maya: Is this our home now, Daddy?
Nathan: Yes, Maya, this is our home, and nobody will ever drive us away.
