Chapter 3 - The Inside Job
The heavy, toxic silence in the luxurious guest bedroom was absolutely deafening.
Dominic didn't break eye contact with the terrified six-year-old girl. He didn't turn his head toward the pitch-black closet. He knew that the exact second he made a sudden movement, the highly trained assassin would immediately open fire with a suppressed weapon, entirely trapping the little girl in a deadly crossfire.
His brilliant, hyper-observant mind instantly pieced the terrifying puzzle together.
The estate was completely locked down. The security perimeter was flawless, armed with motion sensors, heavy steel gates, and armed patrols. The only way Victor could have possibly bypassed the armed guards and gained access to the private family wing was if someone on the inside had actively opened the electronic service doors.
A tight close-up captured Dominic's dark eyes slowly shifting toward Maria.
The blonde maid was still crouching on the plush white rug. She wasn't looking at the closet. She was staring directly at Dominic, profound guilt and sheer panic actively destroying her mind. Her hands were shaking so violently that her white apron was visibly rustling.
"Maria," Dominic whispered smoothly, entirely devoid of human mercy. "You were supposed to put Lily to bed thirty minutes ago."
