Chapter 4 - The Forged Signatures
The air in the narrow corridor suddenly felt suffocatingly thin.
I stared at the legal document in Elena's perfectly manicured hand.
Dominic had forged my signature to pledge my supposed modest savings to his illegitimate child.
He thought I was just a naive woman with a small bank account he could easily drain.
He had no idea that my personal bank account was directly tied to the Sterling family's global trust fund.
By forging my signature, Dominic had unwittingly committed massive federal fraud against an international banking conglomerate.
I gently guided Sophia behind my legs to shield her from their toxic energy.
I asked Dominic if he truly understood the legal documents he had fraudulently signed.
He smirked and proudly claimed he was a financial genius who knew exactly how to manipulate the system.
He boasted that the bank had already approved the multi-million dollar collateral transfer that morning.
My phone suddenly buzzed with a secure message from Victor.
The message confirmed that Dominic's fraudulent transfer had triggered the bank's highest security protocols.
I looked Dominic directly in the eyes and warned him that he was going to federal prison.
He laughed aggressively and stepped aggressively into my personal space.
He whispered that no judge in the city would ever believe a pathetic housewife over a respected CEO.
Dominic reached out to grab my phone and smash it against the wall.
The heavy metal doors at the end of the hallway suddenly burst violently open.
Ten men wearing dark tactical suits and carrying federal warrants flooded into the corridor.
The lead agent held up a shiny badge that caught the harsh fluorescent light.

He announced that Dominic was under immediate arrest, but he did not read him his rights for fraud.
The agent stated that Dominic was being arrested for the attempted murder of a federal witness.
