Chapter 4 - Lucas Opens The Sealed Envelope With Trembling Fingers
With Sarah's emergency call connected on speaker, Lucas picked up the mysterious envelope from the polished wood table.
He slid out the folded legal papers once more, his eyes scanning the dense paragraphs of the fraudulent deed.
“Dispatcher, we have a pregnant woman who was deliberately pushed down a flight of stairs,” Lucas reported clearly into the phone.
“Sir, are you safe? Is the assailant still inside the residence?” the emergency dispatcher’s calm voice asked through the speaker.
“Yes, he’s pinned by our dog, but you need to send an ambulance immediately,” Lucas replied, turning his gaze back to the papers.
The documents in his hand proved that Chad had forged Sarah’s signature on the home equity transfer forms.
“You sold the house out from under her while she was carrying your child, you absolute monster,” Lucas hissed.
Chad stopped struggling for a brief second, his eyes darting frantically toward the front door as sirens began wailing in the distance.
“She didn't own any of this! The property was supposed to be mine after the company buyout!” Chad screamed defensively.
