Chapter 3: The Truth Beneath Ravenshore
Detectives arrived twenty minutes later.
Not local officers.
Federal agents.
Grayson smiled confidently.
"I know the commissioner."
One agent quietly replied,
"So do we."
He placed a federal warrant on the table.
"We're not here for local matters."
Grayson's confidence vanished.
Meanwhile, Dominic remained beside Harper in the hospital.
Doctors confirmed three fractured fingers.
Two cracked ribs.
A severe concussion.
Fortunately...
The injuries were survivable.
While surgeons treated Harper's hand, Dominic quietly asked one question.
"Why tonight?"
Harper closed her eyes.
"My father wanted me to sign everything."
"What everything?"
She handed him a folder rescued from the library safe.
Inside were trust documents.
Property deeds.
Corporate ownership records.
Dominic read every page.
Then he slowly looked up.
"Harper..."
"You own Ravenshore."
She nodded weakly.
"My grandmother left everything to me."
"My father forged replacement documents after she died."
The mansion where Grayson believed himself king...
Had never belonged to him.
Federal forensic specialists soon confirmed it.
The signatures had been forged.
Witnesses bribed.
Court filings altered.
