Chapter 9 - The Spectator
Daniel sat cross-legged on the bare hardwood floor of his empty house, the glowing screen of his laptop illuminating his highly confident face.
He accessed his newly created Swiss banking portal, typing in his complex passwords with incredibly swift, entirely steady fingers.
The screen loaded completely, displaying a massive account balance of exactly five million dollars entirely securely under his total control.
He let out a deep, highly satisfied sigh, entirely believing he had completely won the incredibly dangerous war Claire had started.
He had successfully completely framed his treacherous mistress, entirely satisfied the deadly mob, and completely secured a massive fortune for himself.
He clicked the final confirmation button, officially fully completing the highly complex digital laundering process entirely in his favor.
Daniel closed his eyes for a brief second, already completely planning his luxurious, highly anonymous new life in a warm foreign country.
He imagined sipping expensive champagne on a private beach, entirely completely free from corporate stress and highly manipulative women.
When he opened his eyes again, the bright screen of his laptop suddenly heavily flickered and violently entirely turned completely black.
Daniel frowned aggressively, frantically tapping the keyboard and wildly aggressively completely swiping the touch pad to wake the completely dead machine.
Suddenly, a bright red warning symbol completely flashed aggressively entirely across the center of the dark screen.
A highly advanced, completely unblockable live video feed abruptly aggressively popped completely open directly on his laptop.
Daniel gasped entirely in absolute shock, his heart violently skipping a highly terrifying beat as he recognized the face on the screen.
Claire was sitting comfortably in a dark, highly luxurious room, sipping an expensive glass of red wine and smiling incredibly warmly directly at the camera.
"You really thought you were the smartest person in the room today, didn't you, Daniel?" Claire asked softly through the computer speakers.
Daniel stared entirely at the screen, entirely completely paralyzed by absolute fear as his incredibly brilliant, deeply terrifying wife spoke to him.
"You completely forgot that I had total access to your encrypted laptop for exactly nine entire years," Claire stated cheerfully.
She calmly completely explained that she had absolutely purposely initiated the highly traceable, heavily flawed cryptocurrency transfer entirely as a massive trap.
She completely entirely knew he would aggressively desperately hack into the Cayman account and completely steal the money back for himself.
"I needed you to completely take possession of the stolen funds so the federal government could finally officially prove you were the money launderer," Claire whispered dangerously.
Daniel felt his entire world violently aggressively completely crash entirely heavily down completely around him in an instant.

He completely aggressively reached for the laptop's power button, desperately incredibly trying to completely entirely shut the highly condemning video feed down.
"Don't touch that button, Daniel, or you will completely entirely miss the incredibly beautiful grand finale," Claire warned with a highly cruel, deeply terrifying laugh.
