Chapter 7 - The House of Cards
Daniel stared at the photograph of his wife, completely unable to process the magnitude of the revelation.
The enforcer casually lit a cigarette and let the thick smoke billow into the ruined kitchen.
He explained that Claire was the one who had actually orchestrated the massive illegal loan.
She had brilliantly used Daniel’s name and forged my signature to secure the three million dollars for herself.
She had secretly used the massive sum of dirty money to artificially inflate her influencer brand and buy fake followers.
Daniel collapsed onto the kitchen floor, realizing his entire marriage had been a highly calculated financial scam.
Claire had set him up to take the deadly fall while she planned her luxurious escape to Dubai.
The enforcer coldly stated that they had successfully intercepted Claire at the airport just an hour ago.
He snapped his fingers, and two other heavily armed men dragged a terrified Claire into the kitchen.
Her expensive designer clothes were rumpled, and her flawless makeup was completely ruined by genuine tears.
She looked at Daniel and desperately begged him to tell these men that he was the one responsible for the debt.
Daniel stared at her with incredibly empty eyes, feeling absolutely nothing but pure, unadulterated disgust.
He told her she was a soulless monster who completely deserved whatever terrible fate awaited her.
The lead enforcer drew a heavy pistol and aimed it directly at Claire’s trembling head.
He stated that the cartel did not care about social media fame or fake online apologies.
They only cared about getting their money back with an immense amount of interest.
Claire screamed hysterically, promising she would transfer the stolen funds back to them immediately.
She frantically pulled out her phone and opened her secret offshore banking application.
She typed in her complex password, desperate to prove that she had the cash to save her own life.
The banking screen loaded, and Claire’s face turned completely white as a ghost.
The account balance displayed a bold, bright red zero.
She frantically refreshed the application over and over again, but the money was entirely gone.
Daniel laughed a hollow, incredibly dark laugh from the floor.
He realized that someone else had already hacked into her secret account and drained the stolen funds.
The enforcer lost his patience, cocking the hammer of his weapon with a loud, terrifying click.
He told Claire that her time was officially up.
Before he could pull the trigger, the massive front windows of the house violently shattered inward.
Blinding white light flooded the entire living room, accompanied by the deafening sound of police sirens.
Dozens of heavily armored SWAT officers stormed through the broken windows and the front doors.
They aimed high-powered laser sights directly at the chests of the cartel enforcers.
A voice bellowed through a powerful megaphone, ordering everyone to drop their weapons immediately.

The cartel enforcers quickly realized they were completely outgunned and slowly lowered their firearms.
As the police aggressively handcuffed the dangerous men, a tall figure walked calmly through the shattered front door.
