Chapter 12 - The Mastermind Cornered
Julian shrieked in terror, dropping the duffel bag and dropping to his knees with his hands above his head. "Mr. Callahan! Please! Marcus threatened my family! He made me put the nightshade in the sauce!"
Marcus slowly turned around, his smug face twisting into a mask of pure fury as he saw Ronan standing in the doorway, flank by his bodyguards and the female cook.
"How did you get in here?!" Marcus snarled, reaching toward his belt.
"Don't even try it, Marcus," Ronan warned, his pistol trained dead center on Marcus's chest. "Your corrupt police friends won't be helping you tonight. Coyle has already leaked the police keycard access logs to the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
Marcus stared at Ronan, then looked at Tessa standing courageously beside the mafia boss.
"A line cook?" Marcus sneered bitterly. "My entire multi-million dollar takeover was ruined by a girl who washes dishes?!"
"She's not just a line cook, Marcus," Ronan said, his voice echoing with absolute pride. "She's the Head Manager of my estate from this night forward."
