The sharp salt air swept across the manicured estate grounds, cool, clean, and thoroughly refreshing.A motorcade of three sleek black armored SUVs stood waiting at the edge of the tarmac, their engines idling in silent formation. As the air stairs descended, Ethan led the perimeter team to form a crisp, impenetrable wall of security around the aircraft.Victoria stepped out onto the top platform, taking a slow, deep breath of the familiar coastal air.

    The grand assembly at the Palais des Nations had concluded, but the true legal sealing of the charter was scheduled for the quiet, private vaults of Zurich’s central banking district. By late afternoon, a heavy silver mist had rolled off the Swiss mountains, wrapping the historic stone buildings along the Limmat River in a cool, quiet blanket.Inside the private executive office of the Zurich International Maritime Trust, the atmosphere was serene and heavily guarded. High, arched stone windows looked out over the river, while a massive table made of dark, polished mahogany occupied the center of the room. On the wall hung historical maps of global trade routes dating back centuries, but today, every map on the digital screens reflected the newly drawn boundaries of the Sterling Vance empire.Victoria sat at the head of the dark table, wearing a perfectly tailored black velvet blazer with slim silk lapels that highlighted her posture.

A gentle breeze blew across the water, moving the dark blue water in slow, rhythmic ripples.Victoria stood before the wide mirror in her private dressing room, wearing a striking dark emerald green gown made of heavy Italian silk.

The midnight blue hull with its silver Sterling Vance crest caught the faint silver light breaking through the clouds. Dozens of high end luxury sedans and armored escorts stood waiting on the wet tarmac, their polished black surfaces reflecting the airport lights.Inside the quiet main cabin, Victoria sat near the wide oval window, holding a hot porcelain cup of green tea.
