Chapter 4 - Victoria Tries To Escape Through The Rear Courtyard
Slipping past a group of stunned socialites, Victoria ducked behind the towering marble pillar displaying the American flag plaque.
She pushed open the heavy service door, stepping out into the brisk night air of the private Manhattan estate's rear courtyard.
Her expensive ruby-red satin gown caught slightly on the brass door latch, but she ripped the fabric free without hesitation.
“Hey! Stop right there, ma'am!” a deep voice rang out from the shadows near the security monitoring station.
It was Marcus, the estate's head of private security, shining a high-powered tactical flashlight directly into her face.
Victoria blinded herself against the harsh beam, raising her manicured hand to shield her eyes while backing away.
“Don't you dare shine that light at me, you fool! Do you know who I am?” Victoria screamed defensively.
