Chapter 9 - The Ambush in the Hall
Before Dominic could lunge, Vincent pulled a silenced 9mm pistol from his coat, aiming it directly at Grace’s chest.
"Don't move, brother," Vincent warned, his voice laced with bitter hatred. "One step, and the brave little housekeeper dies first."
Outside the double doors, four armed guards—loyal only to Vincent's payroll—stepped into the doorway, blocking all escape routes.
Grace held her breath, spreading her arms wide to completely cover the three crying little girls behind her. She looked directly into the barrel of the gun without stepping back.
"You monster," Grace said through gritted teeth. "They were just babies."
"Babies who should have kept quiet forever," Vincent spat. "It’s a shame, Dominic. You were so blinded by grief that you handed me the keys to your entire empire."
Vincent tightened his finger on the trigger.
