Chapter 6 - The Federal Message

Sabrina, realizing that the billionaire lifestyle she had stolen was evaporating before her very eyes, scrambled down the stairs. Her high heels clicked frantically against the metal.

"Grant! Do something!" Sabrina shrieked, her glamorous facade completely ruined by sheer panic. "Call your lawyers! They can't just leave us stranded here!"

"My lawyers are funded by her money, you idiot!" Grant screamed back at his mistress, completely losing control.

As the two traitors turned on each other on the tarmac, Claire’s smartphone suddenly vibrated inside her hand.

Claire glanced down at the screen. The message was from her lead corporate attorney, coordinating with the authorities. The text detailed a critical, terrifying update regarding the offshore accounts Grant had opened in Sabrina’s name.

Claire’s calm face changed almost imperceptibly. A subtle tightening of her jaw, a slight narrowing of her eyes. She realized the situation was far more severe than simple embezzlement. Grant had crossed a federal line.

She slowly raised her eyes toward Grant again. The cold, unyielding power radiating from her gaze made him physically step backward up the stairs.

"Captain Elias," Claire said clearly, not breaking eye contact with her ruined husband. "Please instruct the executives to disembark. The flight is permanently cancelled."

"Yes, ma'am," the pilot replied, turning and walking back up the stairs, forcing Grant to move out of his way.

"Claire! What did that message say?!" Grant yelled, terror consuming him as he watched his wife open the door of the luxury SUV. "What are you doing?!"

Claire slid into the plush leather seat of the vehicle. She looked at him one last time, her expression a mask of absolute, victorious finality.
