Chapter 5 - Trevor's Blind Arrogance Collides With Ultimate Power
“How is this possible?” Trevor whispered, looking wildly between Sadie and the city’s most feared underworld kingpin.
“You always lacked imagination, Evans,” Sadie said, her voice steady and clear as glass.
“You thought a woman who survived sleeping in a civic parking lot would stay down forever,” she added calmly.
Trevor’s face flushed a deep, ugly crimson as the realization of his monumental stupidity crashed down on him.
“She’s a nobody! Her family has no money, no connections, no standing in society!” Trevor shouted defensively.
Dante stepped forward, towering over Trevor with a presence that made the smaller man shrink back in fear.
“She doesn't need a family name when she holds every single mortgage note tied to your father’s corporate empire,” Dante said.
Trevor laughed nervously, trying to convince himself it was just an empty threat meant to frighten him.
“That’s a lie! My father’s firm owns half the commercial real estate on this entire coast!” Trevor protested loudly.
