Chapter 8 - The Ultimate Surrender

Heavy, wailing police sirens cut violently through the stormy night.
Through the dark alleyway, intense red and blue emergency lights violently illuminated the wet brick walls. Vincent had already signaled his elite private security team to intercept the corrupt local police and bring in the federal authorities to arrest the bleeding thugs on the ground.
Marcus heard the sirens through the phone. He completely lost his mind.
"Okay! Okay!" Marcus cried frantically, pure, unadulterated terror destroying his arrogant pride. "I'll sign the papers! I'll give her full custody! I'll give her the money! Just tell the feds to back off!"
"The digital custody transfer and asset forfeiture documents have just been emailed to your private server," Vincent stated clinically. "You have sixty seconds to sign them."
Vincent stood in the rain, completely unfazed by the cold, counting down the seconds. The absolute, crushing weight of his corporate power was utterly undeniable.
Exactly forty-five seconds later, Vincent’s own encrypted smartphone buzzed. The documents were fully signed, notarized by a digital key, and legally binding. Clare now had absolute, undeniable sole custody of her daughter, and she was instantly a multi-millionaire.
"It's done," Marcus wept pathetically. "Are you happy now?"
"Immensely," Vincent replied flawlessly.
