Vincent stood back up, completely dominating the room with his powerful presence. He looked directly at the trembling mother.

Emily gasped, tears of pure terror flooding her eyes. "Please, sir! We don't have anywhere else to go! I need this job to feed her!"
"You don't need a job," Vincent explained flawlessly. "I am legally transferring a two-million-dollar private trust fund entirely into your name. You are going to take your daughter, move into a luxury penthouse downtown, and enroll her in the absolute best private school in the state."

"Thank you," Emily wept quietly, holding her daughter tightly.
