Chapter 8 - The Hidden Trap
"Kill them both!" Victor shouted to his guards. "The boss has lost his mind!"
Sophia screamed, dropping to her knees and covering Emma with her own body, waiting for the bullets to hit her.
But Alessandro didn't panic.
Before Victor could even pull the trigger, Alessandro’s hand shot under the armrest of his sophisticated black wheelchair. He pressed a hidden panic button.
Instantly, the massive floor-to-ceiling bookshelves behind Victor slid open, revealing six of Alessandro’s elite, heavily armed loyalists. They had their assault rifles raised, the red laser sights painting Victor’s chest before he even registered what was happening.
"Drop it, Victor," Alessandro commanded. His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed with the terrifying, absolute authority of a true king.
Victor froze, the gun trembling in his hand. He looked at the six elite guards, realizing he was completely outmatched. His own four bodyguards immediately dropped their weapons and raised their hands in surrender, refusing to die for a traitor.
Slowly, Victor lowered his gun, dropping it onto the Persian rug.
"You're a crippled man, Alessandro," Victor sneered, trying to salvage his shattered ego. "You can't lead the family from that chair. I did what had to be done to save the syndicate! You are weak!"
