Chapter 6 - The Brother's Arrival
Victor smiled a slick, terrifying smile as he approached the table. He had been dining in the private VIP room in the back, and the manager had tipped him off that Grant’s ex-wife was working on the floor.
Emily froze, the heavy tray trembling in her hands. The color violently drained from her face. Victor looked directly at her swollen stomach, his eyes flashing with a dark, murderous intent.
"Well, well, well," Victor announced loudly, clapping Grant on the shoulder. "Look who we have here. The runaway wife. And it looks like she took a little souvenir with her."
Grant stood up slowly from the table. His towering frame completely overshadowed his older brother.
"What are you doing here, Victor?" Grant demanded, his voice low and dangerous.
"Just looking out for the family, little brother," Victor sneered, stepping closer to Emily. He reached out, trying to touch her pregnant stomach. "We can't have a bastard child running around claiming the Hale name, can we? I think we need to have a little talk with Emily in the back alley. Sort out this mess permanently."
Emily backed away, terror completely consuming her. She looked at Grant, her eyes silently begging him to protect their child.
