Chapter 12 - Chad Kensington Learns That Extreme Wealth Cannot Buy Immunity
Chad Kensington sat alone in his penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park, staring numbly at his silent, dead smartphone screen.
His father was unreachable, their corporate accounts were completely frozen, and federal investigators were swarming their corporate headquarters.
A sharp knock echoed against his heavy oak front door, breaking the tense, suffocating silence of the multimillion-dollar luxury apartment.
Chad stood up slowly, walking across the imported Italian marble flooring and unlocking the deadbolt with a trembling hand.
He pulled the door open, expecting federal marshals with more paperwork, but instead found himself staring into the cold eyes of David Miller.
David stood on the threshold wearing a simple black coat, looking older than his years yet radiating an aura of terrifying, primordial power.
“You...” Chad whispered, stepping backward instinctively as the chilling realization of who stood before him washed over his soul.
“You thought my daughter had no one to protect her because she was just an ordinary college student,” David said quietly, stepping inside.
“My dad’s lawyers will destroy you! We have millions! We can buy anyone in this city!” Chad screamed, his voice cracking with rising panic.

“Your money is gone, your family name is disgraced, and your father is facing twenty years in a federal penitentiary,” David stated flatly.
David closed the door behind him with a slow, deliberate click that sounded like the final bolt sliding home on a prison cell door.
