Chapter 3 - Victoria Tries To Escape Through The Grand Foyer
Upstairs in the magnificent hardwood-paneled hallway of the Aspen mansion, Victoria’s composure shattered completely.
She slammed her half-empty glass of red wine onto a polished mahogany table, the deep crimson liquid splashing across the pristine surface.
“This is insane... he has no right to tear apart my private storage vault,” Victoria muttered to herself, her manicured fingers trembling.
She turned on her high heels, marching swiftly toward the grand front entryway where the U.S. flag stood proudly on its polished oak pole.
Nora stood frozen near the staircase, watching in stunned silence as Victoria grabbed her designer winter coat from the entryway closet.
“Where do you think you’re going, Victoria? Leo is going to find out everything you’ve been hiding down there,” Nora warned sharply.
“Stay out of this, Nora, or you’ll find yourself sharing a cell with the rest of the household staff,” Victoria hissed viciously.
She wrenched open the heavy oak front doors, stepping out onto the frost-covered stone porch to make a desperate escape to her vehicle.
Before she could take two steps down the driveway, the blinding headlights of an approaching sheriff’s cruiser cut through the falling snow.
