Marcus, the chief of resort security, strode purposefully across the lobby floor accompanied by four heavily built tactical officers.
“All perimeter security gates are officially locked down, Madam Founder,” Marcus reported, snapping a crisp, respectful salute.
“Nobody enters and nobody leaves this property until I give explicit authorization,” Amelia commanded without breaking eye contact.
Panic immediately rippled through the gathered crowd of wealthy socialites, investors, and out-of-town weekend guests.
“You can't imprison us here! Do you know who my husband is in Washington?” shouted a prominent senator’s wife near the bar.
“I don't care if your husband is the President of the United States, ma'am; nobody leaves this lobby,” Marcus replied flatly.
