Chapter 15 - Dominic Eliminates The Threat With Cold Efficiency
Upstairs in the master suite, Sofia watched Dominic with a confident, predatory smile curving across her painted lips.
“You think you can beat me, Dominic? You’re standing in my house,” Sofia mocked, keeping her Walther pistol steady.
“This was never your house, Sofia; it was a cage you chose to crawl out of,” Dominic replied in a low, deadly whisper.
He moved with blinding speed, lunging forward and slapping the barrel of her pistol upward just as she squeezed the trigger.
The bullet punched harmlessly through the plaster ceiling, showering white dust across their shoulders.
Dominic twisted her wrist behind her back with brutal force, sending her pistol clattering across the hardwood floorboards.

Sofia choked for air, her fingernails clawing uselessly at his sleeve, her arrogant mask finally shattering into pure terror.
“Kill me... and Vincent... will finish Grace,” Sofia managed to gasp out through her crushed windpipe.
“Vincent is already dead,” a cold voice echoed from the doorway behind them in the dim hallway.
Dominic turned his head slightly, seeing Evelyn standing in the threshold with blood on her coat and a smoking pistol.
“I intercepted his private communications unit in the garage,” Evelyn reported calmly. “His enforcers have all surrendered.”
Dominic looked back down at Sofia, his heart heavy with the realization that the woman he loved had turned into a monster.
