Chapter 23 - THE COUNTER-STRIKE
Arthur, believing his smear campaign had succeeded in getting me fired, made his fatal mistake. He broke into my penthouse himself. He bypassed the security system, intending to plant fabricated financial documents on my laptop to frame me for embezzlement and finish the job.
But I wasn't there. Khloe and I were watching him from a secure van parked three blocks away, sitting alongside FBI agents who were monitoring the hidden cameras I had installed after the first break-in.
We watched in high-definition as Arthur, wearing leather gloves, pulled out a flash drive and inserted it into my decoy laptop. "He's planting the forged files," the lead agent said, speaking into his radio. "We have him on unauthorized access, planting evidence, and burglary. Move in."

The feeling of watching justice unfold in real-time was intoxicating. This wasn't a desperate struggle on my kitchen floor anymore; this was a masterclass in trapping a predator.
