Chapter 42: Securing the Future

The morning light filtered through the curtains of Aaron's sprawling villa, casting a soft glow on the bedroom walls as he stirred awake. The serene silence of the house, paired with the quiet hum of the automated blinds opening, welcomed him back to consciousness. As he stretched his arms, he reached for his phone on the nightstand. A notification from Sovereign Security caught his attention. He had been expecting this message for days now, and today was the day everything would move forward.

"Good morning, Mr. Sanders. This is Greg from Sovereign Security. We've finalized the details of the security proposal we discussed, and we're ready to review the contract with you. Would you be available to meet later today?"

He replied swiftly, "Morning, Greg. I'm available to meet at my villa. Can you and your team be here by 11 AM?"

A response pinged almost immediately: "11 AM works perfectly. See you soon."
