Chapter 9 - A Frantic Phone Call To A Dangerous Accomplice
Victoria sat in the back of her luxury black limousine, slamming her fists against the leather upholstery in absolute fury.
“Open these gates right now, you incompetent fools!” she screamed through the intercom at the front security lodge.
The security guard inside the lodge ignored her completely, having already received direct override orders from Dominic himself.
Realizing her escape route was blocked, Victoria snatched her burner phone from her handbag and dialed a frantic sequence.
The phone rang three times before a cold, raspy voice answered on the other end of the secure digital line.
“This better be good, Victoria; I’m currently finalizing the board takeover papers,” Richard Sterling’s voice echoed through the speaker.
“Dominic found the hidden safe! The federal marshals are on their way here right now! You have to send your strike team!” she shrieked.
“You failed, Victoria. You left a trail wide enough for a freight train to drive through, and now you’re on your own,” Richard sneered.
Before she could scream another word, the call disconnected with a sharp beep, leaving her stranded in the idling limousine.
Victoria threw the phone against the tinted glass window, her glamorous composure shattering into a million jagged pieces.
