Chapter 6 - The Broken Safe
Forty-eight hours before the grand military gala, Victoria and Sienna had ambushed Nora inside her modest private apartment near the military base.
Accompanied by two aggressive, high-priced corporate lawyers, Victoria had demanded that Nora immediately sign an emergency power-of-attorney document to bypass the military court freeze and release the funds.
When Nora calmly refused to sign the fraudulent papers, Victoria flew into a rage and ordered her private security guards to break open Nora's personal fireproof safe, tearing through her private belongings and destroying her father's cherished military journals right before her eyes.
"You're nothing but a low-ranking officer, Nora!" Victoria had spat in her face, slapping her across her work desk that night with brutal force. "You have no real power, no money, and no allies in this city! Sign these release papers by Saturday night, or I will use every connection I have to ruin your military career forever!"
Nora had stood amidst her ransacked apartment and torn papers, quietly holding her father's silver dog tags tightly in her fist until her knuckles turned white.
She didn't cry. She didn't call the local police department. Instead, she picked up her secure satellite phone and dialed Caleb.
