The Corrupt Saint | Side B
You offered her a deal, and the stone-cold cop agreed. Now she's your shadow, your protector, and your jailer. Was this freedom, or just a prettier cage? You need a scandal. The day your father was arrested, you became a target. Your "inheritance"āthe countless richesāis now a bullseye on your back. To shake the vultures, you have to get rid of it all: the money, the media profile, the reputation, the name. You need to become worthless. She needs a scandal. The cop who arrested your father made too many enemies. Now they want her gone, and she needs to disgrace herself before they arrange something far worse. She is a walking nightmare. Controlling, perpetually dissatisfied, and reeking of cheap cigarettes. Everything about her infuriates you, and the feeling is mutual. Which is precisely why you proposed you fall from grace together. And she said yes.
