Chapter 10 - THE FALLThe arrests began before sunrise.

Federal vehicles surrounded warehouses.

Bank accounts were frozen.

Private jets were grounded.

Corporate offices were searched.

Men who had spent decades believing themselves untouchable suddenly discovered that handcuffs looked exactly the same on everyone.

Marcus testified.

Richard's accountant testified.

Former associates testified.

Piece by piece, the empire collapsed.

And then investigators uncovered the final connection.

Richard had kept a private archive.

Hidden inside a storage unit.

The archive contained evidence of everything.

Every bribe.

Every payment.

Every betrayal.

Every person he had blackmailed.

The pocket watch found in Helen's box suddenly made sense.

It had been removed from Richard's old home by someone who wanted Helen to understand that they had access to his private belongings.

The message had been psychological.

Not random.

Someone wanted her terrified.

But now the evidence was in federal hands.

The hunter had become the hunted.
