Chapter 7 - Nathan’s Desperation (1,500 words)
[Pushed to the brink by impending bankruptcy and the freezing of corporate accounts, Nathan decides to take matters into his own hands. He drives unannounced to Rebecca’s house while she is out running errands, finding only Molly home.
Nathan attempts to intimidate his niece, banging on the front door and demanding she sign a notarized document dropping all legal claims against Darlene and the trust. Molly stands her ground, recording the entire confrontation on her phone. Nathan loses control, screaming threats and trying to force his foot in the door.
Molly calmly warns him that she is recording and that the police are already automated on speed dial. Before Nathan can escalate further, the deep, unmistakable roar of the Mustang echoes down the street.
Rebecca rounds the corner, slamming on the brakes, and leaps out of the car like an avenging fury. She confronts her brother with such fierce intensity that Nathan physically retreats to his truck, swearing vengeance as he peels out of the neighborhood.
