Chapter 4 - The Raid
Federal agents descended upon the New York estate just as the caterers were leaving.
Dozens of black SUVs tore up the manicured lawns and blocked the driveway.
Men in dark windbreakers stormed through the grand double doors without knocking.
Arthur tried to use his booming, authoritative voice to intimidate them.
The lead agent simply handed him a search warrant and told him to step aside.
Victoria screamed in horror as agents began boxing up her priceless art collection.
Julian tried to sneak out the back door, carrying a duffel bag full of cash.
Two armed officers tackled him into the snow before he even reached the tree line.
Julian cried like a child as the cold steel handcuffs snapped around his wrists.
The agents tore through Arthur’s private study, ripping open the hidden wall safe.
They found the fake passports and the offshore bank tokens I had told them about.
Chloe locked herself in her massive walk-in closet, sobbing hysterically.

Victoria tried to hide her face behind her designer scarf, weeping uncontrollably.
