Chapter 4 - The Threat in the Garage

Refusing to accept his sudden loss of financial power, Julian intercepted Clare in the private underground parking garage of the corporate tower later that evening.
Julian stepped out from behind a concrete pillar, his tuxedo replaced by a wrinkled designer suit, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
"Clare! Stop right there!" Julian shouted, slamming his hand against the hood of her vehicle. "You think you can ruin my wedding and steal my company equity in the same week?!"
Clare stopped, looking at her former fiancé with complete, unbothered detachment. "You made your choice at the altar, Julian. You wanted Evelyn. You got her."
"Evelyn doesn't have the voting shares!" Julian sneered, stepping closer to her aggressively. "You're going to sign those voting proxies over to me tonight, or I swear I will ruin your reputation in every high-society circle in New York!"
Before Julian could reach out to grab her arm, a heavy iron grip clamped down on his wrist, twisting it until Julian fell onto his knees on the concrete floor.
Vincent Callahan stood over Julian like an imposing shadow, his silver hair catching the fluorescent overhead lights.

"If you ever step within ten feet of my woman again, Julian," Vincent warned in a low, chilling whisper that echoed through the empty garage, "I will ensure your father's real estate firm files for bankruptcy by midnight."
