Chapter 12 - An Unexpected Visitor At The Sterling Manor Gates
Late that afternoon, a sleek black sedan pulled up to the massive wrought-iron security gates of the Sterling estate.
The security guard inside the intercom booth pressed the button to address the driver through the speaker system.

Victor’s car glided up the winding gravel driveway, stopping directly in front of the grand entrance steps.
