Chapter 8 - The Financial Guillotine

Victoria let out a horrific, high-pitched shriek of pure terror, staring at the bleeding thug groaning at the bottom of the staircase.
Dante walked slowly down the marble steps, projecting the aura of a grim reaper. He stepped over the broken man and walked directly up to his weeping, pathetic fiancée.
"Your transport has arrived, Victoria," Dante stated coldly.
"Dante, I beg of you!" Victoria wailed, completely abandoning her high-society elegance. Tears and snot ruined her flawless makeup. "I'll do anything! I'll disappear! Please don't kill me!"
"I don't kill civilians," Dante replied smoothly. "I just destroy them."
Dante pulled his encrypted smartphone from his pocket. He dialed his Chief Financial Officer, putting the call on speaker so Victoria could hear every single devastating syllable.
"Initiate the hostile takeover of Victoria's father's logistics company," Dante ordered, his dark eyes locked onto Victoria's pale face.
"No! Please! My family has nothing to do with this!" Victoria screamed, pulling desperately at her restraints.
"Liquidate their stock," Dante continued ruthlessly, completely ignoring her. "Call in every single one of their corporate debts. Freeze their supply chains. I want her family completely bankrupt, destitute, and stripped of every asset they own by the time the market opens tomorrow morning."
"Understood, sir," the CFO replied. "The transfer is complete."
Victoria physically sagged in the gold chair, her entire toxic existence turning to ash. She had just cost her family their entire billionaire legacy. They were permanently, completely ruined.
