Chapter 12 - The Trap Is Built With Evidence
Dominic wanted Victor removed immediately.
Chloe wanted something else.
Proof.
She had inherited that instinct from Elaine.
With attorneys and investigators involved, they arranged a controlled

Chloe would appear willing to trade copies of the ledger for money and
safe passage.
Victor agreed to meet in a warehouse office connected to one of his
shell companies.
Chloe did not go alone.
She did not carry a weapon.
The meeting was monitored under the authorities’ plan.
Victor arrived furious.
“You should have taken the money.”
“You tried to kill Dominic.”
Victor smiled.
“Dominic was never the priority.”
Chloe’s stomach dropped.

“Your mother should have taught you not to open dead women’s boxes.”

He referenced details never released publicly.
The position of Dominic’s booth.
Chloe’s Tuesday shift.
The photograph from Massachusetts General.
