Chapter 10 - Mark Attempts A Futile Defense Against The General
Mark strained against the heavy tactical zip-ties binding his wrists behind his back, his face red with frustrated fury.
“You can’t do this! You’re abusing your power! This is a private domestic matter between a husband and wife!” Mark yelled.
General Vance didn't raise his voice; his calm demeanor was far more terrifying than any physical outburst could ever be.
“Domestic matter? You cowardly piece of trash raised your foot against an unarmed woman in her own home,” the General replied coldly.
He signaled to the nearest operative, who hauled Mark roughly to his feet and shoved him against the living room wall.
“My lawyers will dismantle your entire family legacy before the sun comes up tomorrow morning,” Mark spat defiantly.
“Your lawyers can’t help you when your corporate accounts are seized under federal national security statutes,” the General noted smoothly.
Clara began crying even louder from the corner, realizing her association with Mark had guaranteed her own complete ruin.
