At my wedding, my father slapped me in front of 400 guests and hissed, “You work for me. You’ll do what I say.” I touched my burning cheek and replied, “Not anymore, Dad.” Ten minutes later, federal agents walked him through my reception in handcuffs while his board members watched in silence. It happened at 8:17 p.m. on a Saturday, just after the champagne toast. I was still holding the edge of my lace wedding dress with one hand, trying to keep my veil from slipping, when my father leaned close and demanded that I delete the financial records I had uploaded that morning.
