Chapter 5 - The General's Suspicion
General Arthur Vance had not died of simple natural heart failure as Victoria had falsely claimed to the national press and high-society magazines eighteen months ago.
Six weeks before his tragic passing, the decorated General had discovered that Victoria was secretly selling sensitive, highly classified military corporate technology patents to an offshore foreign syndicate to pay off her mounting personal gambling debts.
When he confronted her in private within the walls of their estate, Victoria had threatened to destroy his pristine military legacy by fabricating horrific personal scandals, forging fake documents, and leaking them directly to yellow journalism outlets.
Knowing his life was in immediate danger and that his greedy, disloyal wife would stop at nothing to plunder his life's work, General Vance had arranged a secret midnight meeting with Captain Caleb Miller—his most brilliant, trusted subordinate and Nora's secret fiancé.
Together, using top-tier military encryption protocols, they moved the master deeds, corporate access codes, and total liquid assets into an impenetrable military vault that could only be unsealed by a verified biological DNA match from his true, loyal daughter, Nora.
