Chapter 6 - The Morning Shock
At 8:30 AM, the morning sun filtered warmly through the high glass windows of the grand foyer.
Julian stretched lazy arms as he walked downstairs in his silk bathrobe, expecting to find Evelyn cooking breakfast in the kitchen or moving her things into the basement as ordered.

"Julian Vance?" the lead deputy asked sternly.
"Yes? What is the meaning of this?" Julian demanded, putting on an arrogant posture. "This is a private residence!"
