Chapter 8 - The Lethal Strike
Marcus frowned, sensing the sudden, dangerous shift in the atmosphere. "I... I just grabbed her wrist to stop her from running away, Boss. Just doing my job."
Dominic slowly peeled the heavy knit blanket off his chest. He stood up from the leather armchair. The feverish, vulnerable man completely vanished, replaced by a towering, lethal predator.
"Your job is to protect this house," Dominic stated, taking a slow, terrifying step toward the security chief. "Your job is not to extort a single mother for half her paycheck. Your job is not to leave bruises on women under my roof."
Marcus violently lost all the color in his face. He took a frantic step backward, realizing the maid had already exposed him. "Boss, wait! She's lying! She's a thief!"
Dominic didn't argue. He didn't ask for evidence.
With blinding speed, Dominic’s fist shot out, connecting brutally with Marcus’s jaw. The massive crack echoed through the sitting room. Marcus collapsed onto the expensive rug, completely incapacitated in a single, devastating blow.
