Chapter 10 - Daniel Scrambles For Emergency Loans From Corrupt Lenders
Desperation set in hard at the Ellis household as Daniel frantically dialed every Wall Street contact and business associate he had ever known.
Every single person who used to laugh at his jokes and invite him to private parties suddenly found themselves too busy to take his calls.
Realizing traditional banking avenues were completely closed off, Daniel turned to high-risk private lenders operating in the grey market.
He contacted Victor Vance, a notorious private financier known for issuing predatory short-term bridge loans to desperate corporate failures.
Within two hours, Daniel sat across from Vance in a smoky downtown office, signing away the remaining equity in their colonial home.
“Fifty thousand dollars cash by tonight, Daniel. But remember the terms: thirty percent interest compounded weekly,” Vance warned with a smirk.
“Just wire the funds immediately. We’ll clear this misunderstanding up with my mother by the weekend,” Daniel muttered, his hands shaking.
Vance’s accountant transferred the funds into Daniel’s personal account, binding the desperate man in a web of inescapable debt.
