Chapter 5 - The Police Escort

Officer Rodriguez and Officer Chen stepped onto the hardwood floor, their hands resting casually near their belts.

Julian stood frozen, his eyes darting between the officers, the legal documents, and my completely unfazed expression.
"This is a mistake!" Eleanor shrieked at the officers, pointing her manicured finger wildly at my face.
"This woman is my daughter-in-law! She is pregnant and hysterical! You can't throw us out onto the street!"

"The property belongs entirely to the Vanguard Trust, controlled solely by Evelyn Vance."
"You need to gather your personal belongings immediately, or you will be placed under arrest for criminal trespass."
Julian sank onto the edge of the sofa, clutching his head in his hands as his entire world crumbled around him.
