Chapter 6 - The Locked Doors
Inside the luxurious private dining room, the cinematic tension was absolutely suffocating.
Madison remained on the polished marble floor, reaching her delicate hand up toward Garrett, expecting him to pull her into a comforting embrace. She expected him to apologize for the horrible, aggressive waitress.
Garrett didn't reach for her hand.
He didn't move a single muscle to help her up. Instead, he slowly turned his massive frame toward the remaining wealthy guests in the room.
"Leave," Garrett commanded. It wasn't a request. It was an absolute, terrifying eviction.
The socialites and executives scrambled out of the side exits, desperate to escape the apex predator's wrath. Within ten seconds, the grand dining room was completely empty, save for Garrett, his terrified mother, and the fiancée sitting on the floor.
Garrett calmly walked over to the heavy mahogany double doors. He grabbed the brass handles and pulled them shut.
Click.
He engaged the heavy deadbolts, completely locking the three of them inside.
Madison’s fake tears instantly stopped. A cold, unsettling spike of genuine fear pierced through her arrogant facade. She slowly stood up, brushing off her silver dress, forcing a nervous laugh.
