Chapter 6 - Federal Marshals Surround The Connecticut Estate Grounds
The heavy front doors were thrown open once again as eight heavily armed Federal Marshals poured into the grand foyer with weapons drawn.
Leading the tactical squad was Special Agent Marcus Vance, carrying a certified federal arrest warrant stamped by the United States District Court.
“Nobody move! Drop your weapons immediately!” Agent Vance ordered, his booming voice commanding instant, absolute compliance across the large room.
Victor’s two private security guards immediately raised their hands, dropping their holstered sidearms onto the marble floor without offering a single second of resistance.
Agent Vance marched straight toward Victor, pulling a pair of heavy steel handcuffs from his tactical belt with a cold, professional expression on his face.
“Victor Sterling, you are under federal arrest for corporate extortion, document forgery, and accessory to first-degree murder,” Agent Vance declared.
Claire shrieked hysterically as a female marshal grabbed her arms, pulling her up from the floor and securing her wrists firmly behind her back.
“Julian! Tell them to stop! I was forced into this by Victor! He threatened to ruin my family!” Claire wept desperately, her high-society status gone in seconds.

Julian didn't look at her; his attention remained entirely focused on comforting Emma, who was watching the arrests with quiet, profound relief.
“You’ll spend the rest of your life answering for what you did to Sarah, Claire,” Julian said softly as the officers led them away in chains.
