Chapter 8 - The Confrontation
The massive iron gates slowly swung open with a heavy, metallic groan.
The ex-husband chuckled, tossing his cigarette onto the snowy street. He assumed the rich, preppy guy in the suit was just going to hand him Elena's money to avoid a scene. He stepped forward, holding out a greedy, dirty hand.
"Smart move, rich boy," the ex-husband sneered. "Now hand it over."
Dominic didn't hand him an envelope.
With terrifying, blinding speed, Dominic’s hand shot out. He grabbed the ex-husband by the throat, lifting the scruffy man entirely off the ground. The ex-husband’s eyes bulged in pure terror as he gasped for air, his feet kicking wildly above the snow.
"You have been extorting a mother and her three-year-old child," Dominic whispered lethally, stepping closer so the man could see the faint tattoos wrapping around his neck. "You have been doing it right outside my home. Do you have any idea who I am?"
The ex-husband frantically clawed at Dominic’s iron grip, but the boss didn't budge a single inch.
"My name is Dominic Russo," he stated coldly.
