Chapter 5 - The Stolen Legacy
Five years ago, Landon was an ambitious young man whose startup was on the brink of complete bankruptcy.
Desperate for capital, he had approached Arthur Vance, begging for a loan to keep his business alive.
Arthur agreed under two strict legal conditions: first, Landon had to marry Elise, whom he claimed to love; second, 80% of the company's voting shares would be held in a private trust in Elise's name until their firstborn child was born.
If Landon ever committed marital infidelity or domestic harm, the entire corporate trust would immediately revert to Elise with full executive authority.
Landon had signed the documents back when he was desperate, but over the years, he convinced himself that the legal trust was just a formality that Arthur would never enforce.
