Chapter 2: The Hunter Becomes the Hunted
Julian struggled to stand.
Years of wealth had made him arrogant.
Years of manipulation had convinced him no one could challenge him.
He charged toward Amelia.
She stepped aside effortlessly.
One precise movement.
Another painful throw.
His shoulder struck the edge of the grand piano.
The sound echoed throughout the penthouse.
Security guards outside reached for the door.
Before they could enter, Detective Marcus Hayes held up a warrant.
"Nobody moves."
The officers rushed inside.
Julian froze.
"What is this?"
Marcus removed an evidence recorder from his pocket.
"We've been listening to your confession for the last twelve minutes."
Julian's face turned white.
Impossible.
The room had been swept for surveillance devices.
Amelia unclasped her necklace and placed it gently on the table.
"You searched every wall."
"You never searched the gift you forced me to wear."
Detectives immediately surrounded Julian.
His attorney, hidden in another room, attempted to escape.
He was arrested within seconds.
Financial records...
Bribery payments...
Medical fraud...
False psychiatric reports...
Every crime had already been collected over the past two years.
Julian suddenly understood.
