Chapter 6 - The Desperate Strike
Julian gripped the handle of the butcher knife so tightly his knuckles turned completely white.
If I am going to prison for the rest of my life, I am taking you with me!
He charged across the kitchen floor with a terrifying, primal scream echoing from his throat.
I did not flinch, and I did not take a single step backward to avoid his deadly attack.
Marcus moved with a speed that was almost impossible for a man of his massive size.
He stepped directly in front of me and easily caught Julian's arm mid-strike.
Marcus twisted Julian's wrist with a sickening crunch, forcing him to drop the heavy knife onto the tiles.
Julian howled in agonizing pain as Marcus swept his legs out from under him.
He slammed violently against the hard floor, completely neutralized in a matter of seconds.
The police officers rushed forward and aggressively pinned Julian to the ground with their knees.
They slapped a second pair of heavy steel handcuffs onto his wrists, securing him permanently.
Beatrice screamed in absolute horror as she watched her precious son being treated like a violent criminal.
You ruined our family, Vivian!
You are an evil, heartless monster who destroyed everything we built!
I walked over to Beatrice and looked down at her tear-stained, furious face.
You built your family on a foundation of lies, theft, and pathetic entitlement.
I simply turned on the lights and let you all scatter like the cockroaches you truly are.
The lead officer hauled Julian to his feet and began reading him his Miranda rights in a stern voice.
Elena slowly stood up, brushing the dust off her stolen silk robe with trembling hands.
She offered the police officer a fake, innocent smile as she tried to walk toward the front door.
I told you all about the murder plot, so I am free to go now, right?
I chuckled darkly and handed the lead officer one final manila folder from my collection.
Elena did not just agree to the murder plot.

She actually transferred the initial down payment to a known hitman using stolen funds.
Elena's fake smile vanished completely as the officer pulled out a third pair of handcuffs.
