Chapter 16 - Violence Explodes Across the Grand Estate Ballroom
Upstairs, the mercenaries hired by Marcus breached the grand ballroom windows, shattering antique crystal and French doors.
Gunfire tore through the expensive furnishings as Adrian’s loyal guards fought back with fierce, unyielding determination.
Holding little Lily tightly in his arms, Vincent rushed down the back service stairs to secure the panic room shelter.
Adrian rolled his heavy wheelchair out of the elevator, taking up a tactical position near the grand piano with a submachine gun.
“You picked the wrong house to invade, gentlemen,” Adrian growled, squeezing the trigger with deadly, practiced precision.
The rogue mercenaries dropped one by one as Adrian’s tactical training took over every movement of his upper body.
The battle was short, brutal, and absolute, leaving the grand ballroom smelling of cordite, smoke, and shattered glass.
Vincent returned a moment later, confirming that the outer perimeter was completely secure and all intruders were neutralized.
