Chapter 8 - The True Traitor
An extreme, cinematic close-up captured the glowing screen of Dominic’s cell phone.
The message wasn't from a business associate. It was from Leo, his trusted lead bodyguard—the exact same man who was currently dragging Caleb into the basement.
The feds are closing in on the South Port. Execute Caleb now. Make it look like a cartel hit. We take over the empire tonight.
Dominic stopped breathing. The air in his lungs violently turned to absolute ice. The cinematic realization crashed over him with the force of a nuclear bomb.
Caleb hadn't brought the gun to assassinate his father. The lead bodyguard had planted the weapon in Caleb's jacket during the pat-down. Leo was the true traitor, orchestrating a massive coup to frame the deaf son for treason, murder him in the basement, and seize the entire criminal empire for himself.
Dominic looked up at the waitress.
She wasn't looking at the phone. She was looking dead into Dominic's eyes with profound, unshakeable intensity.
"I saw him put it in your son's pocket," the waitress whispered lethally, completely breaking character.
