THE MERCER CONSPIRACY 🍷⚖️ / Chapter 2 / 10

Chapter 2 - The Black Flash DriveCharlotte let out a heartbreaking gasp, burying her face in her hands as I wrapped my arms tightly around her trembling shoulders.

“My baby...” Charlotte sobbed, her voice breaking. “Where is Noah?!”

“Tactical teams are surrounding the pier right now, Mrs. Mercer,” Agent Vance reported, gesturing to the two police officers. “Your husband’s associates were preparing to put him on a private vessel bound for South America.”

Grant went pale, backing against the dining table, his former arrogance completely collapsing into sweating panic.

Diane dropped her wineglass, the red liquid splashing across her cream linen suit like blood. “This is harassment!” Diane shrieked. “My son is a respected pharmaceutical executive!”

“Your son is under federal investigation for prescription fraud, illegal human trials, and child trafficking,” Agent Vance countered coldly, picking up the small black flash drive from the table.

Grant attempted to sprint toward the rear kitchen exit, but two undercover officers stepped through the swinging doors, slamming him face-down onto the floor!

On the third night after my car accident, I lay perfectly still in a hospital bed, pretending I still hadn’t regained consciousness. I wanted to know whether my husband of seven years would stay if I became a burden—but then I heard him ask my doctor, “When can you remove her oxygen?” and suddenly I was terrified of the man sleeping beside me every night.
