Chapter 6 - The Trap is Sprung
"Who locked this door?!" Enzo’s furious voice roared from the hallway.
Clara shoved the medical files back into the black box and slammed the lid shut. She didn't have time to hide.
The heavy oak doors were violently kicked open, the wood splintering around the lock. Enzo stormed into the office, followed closely by his armed bodyguards.
When Enzo saw Clara standing behind his private mahogany desk, his dark eyes turned completely black with lethal intent. In his world, a servant snooping in his private office was an immediate death sentence.
"What the hell are you doing in here?" Enzo whispered, his voice vibrating with demonic fury.

Enzo froze, the barrel of his pistol wavering for a fraction of a second. "What?"
