CHAPTER 6 — The Billionaire's Greatest Betrayal
At sunrise...
Richard Harrington finally found Daniel.
Not in a luxury hotel.
Not at his apartment.
But sitting quietly on a wooden bench overlooking the river.
Richard approached alone.
No bodyguards.
No lawyers.
No reporters.
For several seconds...
Neither man spoke.
Finally, Richard broke the silence.
"I'm sorry."
Daniel looked at the river.
"You're apologizing too late."
Richard lowered his head.
"I know."
Daniel handed him the envelope.
"I've been protecting this for three years."
Richard carefully opened it.
His face turned pale almost instantly.
Every page revealed another layer of corruption.
Then...
He reached the final document.
His hands began to shake.
"No..."
He whispered.
"It can't be him."
Daniel nodded slowly.
"It is."
Richard collapsed onto the bench.
The signature was unmistakable.
His childhood best friend.
His business partner since the company's founding.
The man who had attended his wedding...
Held his children...
Shared every major success...
Had secretly stolen nearly $900 million from the company over two decades.
But the money wasn't the worst part.
Richard flipped to the final page.
Attached was a confidential medical report.
A life insurance policy.
And a private memo.
His eyes widened in horror.
The memo read:
"Once Richard's health declines, transfer control of Harrington Global immediately. Daniel Carter must be eliminated if he becomes a problem."
Richard could barely breathe.
"This wasn't just financial fraud..."
Daniel looked at him quietly.
"No."
"It was a plan to take your company..."
"...after your death."
For the first time in decades...
Richard Harrington cried.
But neither man noticed the black SUV parked across the street.
Inside...
A man lowered his binoculars.
He picked up a satellite phone.
"They're together."
A cold voice answered immediately.
"Then don't let either of them leave alive."
The engine started.

The SUV slowly pulled away from the curb...
Heading straight toward the park.
