Marcus had secretly sent a massive data dump of Eleanor's illegal financial transfers to the FBI right before they entered the building.
Alexander firmly grabbed Eleanor's wrist and aggressively hauled her pathetic, crying body back over the concrete ledge to safety.
He told the sobbing woman that he was letting her live so she could rot in a tiny concrete cell for the rest of her miserable life.
Federal agents immediately slapped heavy steel handcuffs on the ruined bride, dragging her away as she screamed absolute obscenities into the rainy night.
Alexander turned away from the chaos and fell to his knees on the wet roof, wrapping his strong arms tightly around Sarah.
He kissed her deeply, tears of pure joy streaming down his face as he finally held the only true love of his life again.
Lily and Mia ran over to their parents, creating a beautiful, crying pile of hugs that completely ignored the freezing storm around them.
Within a few short weeks, the corrupt Vance family empire was completely dismantled, and Alexander's massive fortune was fully restored.
