Chapter 5 - The Financial Slaughter

"Dante, they forced me!" Sophia shrieked, completely abandoning her elegant, confident persona. Tears ruined her flawless makeup. "My father's company is billions in debt to the cartel! They said they would slaughter my entire family if I didn't give them your location tonight! I didn't want to do it!"
Dante didn't pull a weapon. A quick bullet was far too generous for a monster who had smiled in his face while planning his funeral.
Dante pulled his own encrypted smartphone from his pocket.
"While you were busy cutting my coat, Sophia," Dante stated coldly, dialing his Chief Financial Officer, "my accountants were reviewing the merger paperwork your father signed yesterday."
Sophia’s eyes widened in sheer, paralyzing horror.
"Initiate the hostile takeover of her father's firm," Dante ordered his CFO, keeping his eyes locked onto his weeping fiancée. "Liquidate every single asset. Freeze their offshore accounts. Transfer all their corporate debts directly to her father's personal name. I want them completely bankrupt and utterly destroyed by morning."
"No! Please! Dante, you'll ruin us!" Sophia wailed, dropping to her knees on the glossy black floor, her silver gown pooling around her.
"I already have," Dante replied smoothly. "And I just forwarded your text messages to the cartel you owe money to. They now know you failed to deliver me. They know you have absolutely no money to pay them back."
