Chapter 11 - Richard’s Desperate Call From Meridian County Jail

At 3:00 AM, the secure terminal in my residence rang with an automated inmate call indicator from the county facility.
I picked up the receiver, listening to the static-filled audio of Richard’s desperate, trembling voice.
“General Vance... please, you have to talk to Victoria. I’ll sign whatever divorce papers she wants!” Richard sobbed through the speaker.
“You spent years trying to break my daughter’s spirit and steal her inheritance, Richard,” I replied in a flat, chilling tone.

“Now you get to experience what happens when you awaken a sleeping giant.”
I hung up the phone without waiting for his reply, letting the dial tone echo into the empty room.
