Chapter 4 - The First SUV
The first SUV door opened.
Then another.
Then another.
Isaac stepped backward.
“Flora, listen to me.”
She didn't answer.
Clover grabbed his arm.
“Who are those people?”
Isaac pulled away.
“I don't know.”
That was a lie.
He knew the Sterling security insignia.
He had seen it years ago.
He had spent months trying to get close to a Sterling intermediary because he wanted access to their business network.
He had never succeeded.
Now their vehicles were parked outside his mansion.
Isaac looked at Flora again.
“How long?”
She finally spoke.
“How long what?”
“How long have you been hiding this?”
Flora's eyes remained fixed on him.
“Long enough.”
Isaac's breathing became uneven.
He suddenly remembered every strange detail.
The anonymous calls.
The men who always seemed to recognize Flora.
The accounts he could never access.
The way certain businessmen stood whenever she entered a room.
The mysterious driver who once called her “Miss Sterling.”
He had thought those things were coincidences.
They weren't.
A heavy knock struck the ballroom doors.
Everyone froze.
Once.
Twice.
Then silence.

Flora walked toward the entrance.
👉 But the person standing behind those doors wasn't there to negotiate with Isaac.
