Chapter 11 - Deciding To Leave The Estate For The Secure Countryside
The heavy mahogany doors of the private study slammed shut as Arthur locked them from the inside with shaking hands.
He paced across the Persian rug, his mind racing through the terrifying implications of the medical report just revealed to him.
“Poisoned... Richard and Marcus didn't just want me out of the company; they wanted me dead and buried,” Elena repeated numbly.
“They will pay for every single day of pain they caused you, Elena... I swear it on my life,” Arthur vowed with icy determination.
“We can't stay in this downtown estate, Daddy; Richard knows every security blind spot and staff member in this building,” she warned.
“You’re right; we need to relocate to the secluded family retreat in the Berkshire hills before sunrise,” Arthur decided instantly.
“Is it safe there? Will Lily and I be protected from their reach?” Elena asked, looking toward her sleeping daughter on the sofa.
“The Berkshire estate has a military-grade security bunker and private airstrip; not even the federal government can breach it without permission,” Arthur assured her.
He picked up his encrypted satellite phone, dialing his head of private security to arrange an immediate midnight transport convoy.
“Prepare two unmarked SUVs and the private ambulance transport unit for an immediate relocation to the Berkshire property,” Arthur ordered.
“Understood, Mr. Sterling; we’ll have the motorcade staged in the underground garage within twenty minutes,” the security chief confirmed.
Elena walked over to Arthur, placing her hand gently on his arm to calm his rising fury.
“We need to be smart about this, Daddy; if Richard realizes we’re moving, he might try to intercept us on the highway,” she cautioned.
“We’ll travel in the armored transport with federal escort; Officer Miller already arranged two police cruisers to clear our path,” Arthur replied.
