Chapter 9 - The Vault Unsealed
At 11:30 PM that very night, inside a high-security subterranean vault at District Military Headquarters, a specialized panel of three military probate judges convened for an emergency tribunal.
Nora sat at the head of the heavy mahogany conference table in her service uniform, with Caleb standing firmly at her side like an unshakeable guardian. Across the room sat Victoria in steel handcuffs, flanked by terrified court-appointed lawyers, her designer dress disheveled and her face deathly pale.
Judge Roberts, a stern, grey-haired senior military judge, placed a heavy reinforced steel briefcase onto the center of the table with a loud thud.
"Under Military Legal Code Section 804," Judge Roberts announced, his voice reverberating in the quiet room, "General Arthur Vance executed a sealed, conditional final will and testament, strictly ordered to be unsealed upon the public demonstration of illegal coercion or assault by his surviving spouse."
Victoria gasped loudly, her bloodshot eyes bulging in terror as she gripped the edge of the table. "What?! A conditional will?! That's impossible! I am his legal wife!"
