Chapter 3: The Demolition of Supremacy
"Take your hands off my daughter!"
The roar that erupted from Arthur Montgomery did not sound like the voice of an aging corporate executive; it sounded like a thunderclap that shook the very foundations of the marble hallway.
The abusive husband didn't expect her notoriously powerful father to attend the event. Instead of a successful cover-up, Julian’s smug supremacy shattered instantly when the army of bodyguards completely surrounded him, cutting off every single exit.
Before Julian could even draw a breath to utter a diplomatic lie, the two lead bodyguards stepped forward with terrifying synchronization. One grabbed Julian’s wrist, twisting it with a sickening pop that forced him to release Katherine, while the other delivered a brutal, calculated kick to the back of Julian’s knee.

Julian shrieked in pain as his legs gave out, forcing him down to his knees on the cold marble floor. The man who had felt completely untouchable just seconds ago was now pinned flat against the ground, his expensive black suit wrinkling as a heavy leather boot pressed firmly into his shoulder blade.
Arthur bypassed his son-in-law entirely, stepping over his pinned body to wrap his massive, protective arms around Katherine. "I’m here, sweet girl," Arthur whispered, his voice cracking with a raw, paternal grief as he saw the faint glimpse of a bruise peeking past her collar. "The nightmare is over. I have the medical teams, the forensic analysts, and the federal warrants. He is completely finished."
