Chapter 5 - Anthony And Veronica Plot The Final Takeover
Across town in a luxurious penthouse overlooking Central Park, Anthony Moretti poured two glasses of aged scotch for Veronica Hale.
“Everything is falling into place exactly as we planned, Anthony,” Veronica purred, swirling the amber liquid in her crystal glass.
“The doctors report that Dominic’s brain activity has flatlined significantly over the past twenty-four hours,” Anthony smirked triumphantly.
“By Friday morning, we sign the corporate trust transfer papers and control every dock from Brooklyn to New Jersey,” Anthony added.
“Just make sure the hospital room is locked down tight until then. I don’t want any miracle recoveries ruining our celebration,” Veronica warned.
“Relax, my dear. The guards outside his door answer only to my payroll now,” Anthony laughed, clinking his glass against hers.
They toasted to their greed, completely oblivious to the fact that their target had already woken up from his fabricated coma.
The illusion of absolute control was beginning to fracture around them like fragile glass under immense pressure.
