Chapter 16 - A Violent Confrontation Breaks Out At The Estate
While Audrey visited the hospital, Julian paced outside the Bellamy family estate in Connecticut, consumed by desperate rage. The lawsuit was falling apart, his mother was in the hospital, and his master plan had completely failed.
He marched up to the front security gates, rattling the iron bars like a caged animal. A private security guard stepped out of the gatehouse, eyeing Julian with cold suspicion. "Step away from the property, sir."
"Tell Richard Bellamy his time is up!" Julian yelled hysterically, refusing to back down. Suddenly, a sleek black town car pulled up behind Julian, and two burly men stepped out onto the driveway.
They weren't security guards; they were debt collectors hired by the offshore syndicates Julian owed money to. "Looking for us, Julian?" the lead enforcer asked coldly, walking up behind him with a threatening grin.
Julian turned around, his face draining of all color as he backed away toward the iron gates. "I told you I need one more week to secure the Bellamy trust funds," Julian stammered nervously.

"Your time ran out when your mother ended up in the hospital," the enforcer stated, grabbing Julian by the collar of his designer coat. Before Julian could scream, a heavy punch landed square in his stomach, knocking the wind completely out of him.
They threw him violently against the stone pillar of the gate, leaving him bruised, beaten, and utterly defeated on the cold ground. The car sped away into the distance, leaving Julian alone in the dirt.
