Chapter 9 - An Unexpected Ambush Outside The Family Estate Walls
Three days into her new role, Chloe was walking with Beatrice through the private sculpture garden behind the guest house.
The crisp afternoon air was peaceful, filled only with the sound of distant fountains and rustling pine trees.
Suddenly, the heavy crack of a silenced gunshot shattered the tranquility, embedding itself into a stone pillar inches from Beatrice.
“Get down!” Chloe screamed, instinctively throwing her body over the elderly woman to shield her from harm.
Security alarms wailed instantly across the entire estate as armed guards poured out from the main house.
Two black SUVs came screeching around the perimeter road, their tires smoking against the asphalt.
Through the tinted windshields, rival syndicate enforcers opened fire with automatic weapons toward the garden.
