Chapter 9 - The Stolen Trust Fund
Agent Harris entered my room carrying a black briefcase.
He set the leather briefcase onto the bedside table.
"We searched Michael's private office downtown an hour ago."
Agent Harris reported, pulling out a stack legal files.
"We found the real motive behind their sudden hurry."
I looked at the legal papers spread across bed.
The papers bore the logo of my late mother's estate.
My mother passed away two years ago from cancer.
She left me a ten-million-dollar real estate trust fund.
The trust had a specific clause written inside by mother:
The funds were locked until my thirtieth birthday today.
Today was my thirtieth birthday on the calendar date.
If I reached thirty, the entire ten million transferred.
It transferred directly to my personal private bank account.
If I died before midnight on my thirtieth birthday,
The entire ten million passed to my legal spouse.
Michael Vance was my legal spouse on official record.
My jaw dropped in sheer, absolute, terrifying realization now.
It wasn't just about the pharmaceutical contract money today.
It was about my mother's ten-million-dollar inheritance trust.
Today was the final deadline before I claimed money.
They needed me dead or declared incompetent before midnight tonight.
If they locked me in an asylum before midnight,
Michael could claim control of the trust as guardian.
If I died on the operating table today,
Michael inherited the full ten million dollars tax free.
They had orchestrated my entire pregnancy timeline for this.
They had planned my destruction down to the exact hour.
"They calculated everything," I whispered, shaking my head.
"They married me for my mother's estate money."
"Yes," Agent Harris nodded with cold, grim agreement.
"Michael married you three years ago under David's orders."
"His father's firm was bankrupt and facing liquidation."
"They used your mother's money to save their business."
"And when the deadline arrived, they decided to kill."
I clenched my fists until my knuckles turned white.
The sheer monstrous greed of the Vance family was exposed.
They treated human lives like disposable corporate assets.
"What happens to the trust fund now, Agent Harris?"
"The court frozen their access permanently," Harris answered.
