The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 107

Chapter 107: The government comes for Anya

Across the city, Daniel Shaw ended his call with Mathias, a satisfied smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He pocketed his phone and turned his attention to the imposing building before him, the Rachelle family's private bank. Taking a deep breath, Daniel straightened his tie and walked through the ornate doors. The interior was all polished marble and dark wood, exuding an air of old money and discretion.

A smartly dressed woman approached him, her professional smile not quite reaching her eyes. "Good evening, sir. How may I assist you?"

Daniel gave her his most charming smile. "Good evening. I'm here to access one of your safety deposit boxes."

The woman nodded. "Of course, sir. May I see some identification?"

Daniel produced his ID and a set of documents. "I believe you'll find everything in order."

The woman examined the papers carefully, her eyebrows rising slightly as she read. "I see. Mr. Shaw, if you'll follow me, please." She almost jumped out of her skin from reading his name. This was the actual Daniel Shaw?

""Thank you, sir.

Inside the vault, rows of safety deposit boxes lined the walls. The woman led Daniel to one in particular.

"Here we are, Mr. Shaw. Box 1374. I'll give you some privacy. Please ring the bell when you're

finished."

Daniel waited until she had left before inserting the key and opening the box. His heart raced with anticipation as he lifted the lid.

It was empty.

Daniel blinked, certain he must be seeing things wrong. He ran his hand along the interior of the box, as if its contents might be invisible. Nothing. Frustrated, he rang the bell. The woman returned promptly.

"Is everything alright, Mr. Shaw?"
