Chapter 6 - The Lethal Command
The cinematic tension in the grand hallway was absolutely paralyzing.
Mrs. Gable began to hyperventilate. The arrogant, untouchable manager suddenly realized she was trapped in a cage with an apex predator. She had purposefully starved and abused the father of the most dangerous man in Chicago, hoping the old man would die quickly so she could embezzle the remaining medical funds.
"Mr. Moretti, it's a misunderstanding!" Mrs. Gable shrieked, backing away toward the heavy front doors. "I was just following a new dietary plan! The medicine was making him groggy!"
Alessandro didn't blink. He looked at the trembling, pathetic woman with an expression of cold, unforgiving authority.
"Look at me, Mrs. Gable," Alessandro demanded. His voice was firm, completely devoid of mercy, carrying the absolute weight of a death sentence.
Mrs. Gable froze, terrified to run, forced to look directly into his pitch-black, furious eyes. Her facial micro-expressions shifted rapidly as the horrific reality of her situation set in. She was completely trapped.
Alessandro didn't need to raise his voice. He didn't need to strike her.
A tight, cinematic close-up focused on old Vincenzo in the wheelchair. The broken king looked up at his son, his eyes overflowing with immense, overwhelming tears of relief. He knew the nightmare was finally over.
