Chapter 9 - Elias Enters The Ashford Household With Silent Power
Later that same evening, a convoy of three black unmarked sedans pulled up silently outside the Ashford family residence.
Gabriel Ferraro led six armed security operatives up the stone steps, knocking once before pushing the front doors open.
Margaret Ashford rushed into the foyer, her face twisted in absolute fury and terror at the uninvited intrusion.

Elias walked into the foyer behind his security chief, his dark overcoat trailing slightly in the cool evening breeze.
“You ruined us over a misunderstanding!” Margaret shouted, pointing a shaking finger directly at Elias’s chest.
“You attempted to traffic a young housekeeper into a fraudulent marriage to save your collapsing shipping empire,” Elias stated quietly.
