Chapter 6 - The Federal Setup
Marcus didn't pull the trigger. The absolute, terrifying restraint he showed was infinitely more dangerous than a violent outburst.
He slowly lowered the pistol, slipping it seamlessly back into his dark suit jacket.
"I already scrubbed Maryanne's name from the federal ledger," Marcus revealed flawlessly, completely destroying Vincent's legal shield. "And I heavily encrypted the remaining files to point directly at your personal, private accounts."
Vincent hyperventilated, stepping backward. "You set me up?"
"You set yourself up," Marcus corrected coldly. He looked at Serena, who was violently trembling in her red dress. "The FBI isn't coming to protect you, Elena. They don't even know you're here. They think you went rogue. You're completely cut off."
Serena let out a horrific, breathless gasp of pure despair. She realized her entire federal career and her mafia protection had just been completely annihilated in a single sentence. She was completely trapped.
Suddenly, the heavy, massive oak doors of the grand ballroom violently burst open.
