Chapter 8 - The Fall of the Secretary
"Dominic, please!" Vanessa sobbed, dropping to her knees on the cold marble floor. "I loved you! I did it because she was distracting you from the empire! I made you stronger!"
"You made me a fool," Dominic said, his voice echoing with absolute, uncompromising finality.
He didn't raise his hand. He didn't raise his voice. He simply nodded at his elite enforcers.
Four massive men in dark suits immediately detached themselves from the shadows of the ballroom. They lunged forward, violently grabbing Vanessa by the arms.
"No! Please! I'll give the money back! Don't do this to me!" Vanessa wailed, thrashing in pure, unadulterated terror as the men hoisted her off the floor.
"Take her to the subterranean holding cells at the harbor," Dominic ordered, his tone completely devoid of human mercy. "Freeze her accounts. Strip her of everything. I will deal with her personally when I am finished here."
The guards dragged the screaming, kicking secretary backward across the polished marble. Her desperate shrieks echoed through the grand ballroom, growing fainter and fainter until the heavy oak doors slammed shut, swallowing her into the darkness forever.
