Chapter 6 - Caleb Confronts His Mother About The Hidden Threat
Leaving the precinct station behind, Caleb drove his pickup truck through the wrought-iron gates of the Vance family estate at breakneck speed.
He burst through the mahogany double doors of the mansion without knocking, his heavy boots echoing across the grand marble foyer.
“Mother!” Caleb roared, his voice shaking the crystal chandeliers hanging from the vaulted ceiling.
Eleanor Vance descended the curved staircase slowly, wrapped in a luxurious silk robe with a glass of scotch in her manicured hand.
“Must you scream like a common laborer in this house, Caleb? Some of us are trying to maintain a shred of dignity,” Eleanor sneered.
Caleb closed the distance between them in two massive strides, grabbing her silk lapel with terrifying, white-knuckled intensity.
“Who did you send to Sarah’s room last night? Whose serpent pin was found on the security camera footage?” Caleb demanded fiercely.

Eleanor didn't blink; her cold, aristocratic eyes stared back at him with absolute, unyielding disdain.
“Your wife was a liability to this family’s trust fund, Caleb. She brought that upon herself,” Eleanor stated without an ounce of remorse.
