Chapter 13 - THE FALL OF EDMUND ASHFORD

Edmund Ashford faced criminal charges related to fraud, violence, and his role in the conspiracy.
His assets were frozen.
His business collapsed.
And the man who had once controlled every part of my life could no longer threaten me from behind the walls of his mansion.
Salvatore Ferrara was also arrested after investigators located him through the financial network.
The case continued through the courts.
I gave testimony with legal and emotional support.
It was difficult.
But I wasn't alone.
When I left the courthouse, Nico was waiting outside.
He didn't ask whether I wanted to return to his penthouse.
He didn't tell me what to do next.
He simply asked, “Are you hungry?”
I laughed through tears.
