Chapter 18 - Dominic Discovers A Hidden Journal In Victoria’s Suite
Late one Friday evening, Dominic decided to personally oversee the final clearance of Victoria’s abandoned master suite.
The room had remained locked since her arrest, untouched by the staff as federal investigators completed their final property sweeps.
He opened the walk-in closet, inspecting the empty shelves where her designer clothing and luxury accessories once hung.
On the very top shelf, tucked behind a false wooden panel, rested a small, leather-bound diary with a tarnished silver clasp.
Dominic pulled it down, blowing a thin layer of dust off the cover before sitting down on the edge of the velvet armchair.
He popped open the antique clasp and began reading through the handwritten entries dating back over the past three years.
Most pages detailed her meticulous plot to manipulate his business decisions and isolate him from his long-time trusted advisers.
However, near the very back of the journal, an entry written in frantic ink caught his absolute attention.
It mentioned a secondary secret vault hidden beneath the main foundation of the estate—one that even Victoria had trouble accessing.

Dominic frowned, tracing the words with his thumb as a cold, unsettling realization crept up his spine.
