Chapter 7 - The Stripping of Power
"You did it for greed," Lorenzo stated, stepping back in pure, unadulterated disgust.
He didn't touch her. A man of his immense power didn't need to dirty his own hands to completely destroy a traitor. He simply looked at the massive, heavily armed syndicate guards standing at the perimeter of the foyer.
"Take her," Lorenzo commanded softly.
Four guards immediately rushed forward. They grabbed the weeping, thrashing maid by her arms, violently hauling her up from the marble floor.
"No! Please!" Renata shrieked hysterically, her severe bun coming undone, her dark hair falling wildly around her terrified face. "I raised you! You can't do this to me! I am family!"
"You are a parasite," Lorenzo corrected her, his voice devoid of all human empathy.
"Empty her bank accounts," Lorenzo ordered his lieutenant. "Transfer every single dollar she stole back into my daughter's trust fund. Then take her to the warehouse. Get a full, recorded confession on video. When you are done breaking her, hand her over to the federal authorities for extortion and attempted murder. Tell the judge I want her in solitary confinement. Deny her bail."
"Lorenzo! Please have mercy!" Renata screamed like a feral animal as the guards dragged her backward toward the service doors.
"You showed my wife no mercy in the freezing rain," Lorenzo replied coldly. "You will find none here."
Renata’s desperate, pathetic cries faded down the long hallway, ending her ten-year reign of manipulation and cruelty forever. She would spend the rest of her miserable life locked in a concrete box.
