Chapter 4 - The Fraudulent Warrant
Before Clara could answer, two black police cruisers pulled up along the snow-covered driveway, their red and blue lights flashing frantically against the white landscape.
Detective Vance—a corrupt officer on Victor Moretti’s payroll—stepped out of the lead vehicle, holding an official felony arrest warrant.
"Dominic Moretti!" Vance announced, holding up his badge with arrogant authority. "Step away from that woman! Clara Carter is under arrest for grand theft and corporate espionage against the Moretti estate!"
Clara’s heart spiked in sheer panic. She reached out, trying to take Lily back, but Dominic held the child firmly against his chest, stepping in front of Clara like an impenetrable shield.
"Who authorized this warrant, Vance?" Dominic demanded, his voice dropping into a low, lethal register.
"Your cousin, Victor Moretti, filed the criminal complaint an hour ago," Vance sneered, taking a pair of handcuffs from his belt. "She stole confidential financial ledgers from the executive wing. Hand her over!"
Dominic pulled his silver pocket watch from his pocket, opening it calmly while checking the time. "Victor doesn't own this estate, Vance. And he doesn't own the police force."
