CHAPTER 7

Carmen stood up slowly, her face contorting into an arrogant sneer as she smoothed down her expensive silk blouse.
"Do you have any idea who I am?" Carmen demanded, pointing a manicured finger at Alexander's face. "I own this hotel! I own this city! You break into my suite, and I will have you rotting in a federal prison by noon!"
Alexander didn't answer her; he reached out, grabbed the front of Javier’s expensive shirt, and slammed him face-first onto the glass dining table.
The women screamed in unison, backing away toward the floor-to-ceiling windows as Marcus and the team secured every exit point in the room.
"Javier!" Carmen shrieked, stepping forward frantically. "Let go of my son, you barbarian!"
"On October fourteenth," Alexander spoke, his voice low, measured, and dangerously calm as he held Javier’s face pinned against the cold glass, "you stood outside room 3204 while your mother beat my daughter."
Javier gasped for air, his eyes bulging with pure terror as he felt the overwhelming physical strength of the man holding him down.
"You told your mother not to bruise her face because people would notice at the morning brunch," Alexander continued, tightening his grip slightly until Javier let out a pathetic whimper. "Do you remember saying those words, Javier?"
"It... it was a misunderstanding!" Javier choked out, tears of pain pooling in his eyes. "She fell! Sofia refused to sign the family documents and became hysterical!"

Alexander pulled a small digital audio player from his coat pocket, pressing play and placing it directly beside Javier’s ear.
The entire suite filled with the horrifying sound of Sofia screaming for help while Carmen laughed and Javier advised them from the hallway.
