Chapter 8 - Dominic Confronts His Closest Guards In The Armory
Dominic walked out of the library with the lethal, unreadable calm of an apex predator closing in on its prey.
Sal and Grace followed closely behind as he descended the grand staircase toward the subterranean estate armory.
Six armed guards stood near the heavy steel vault lockers cleaning their service weapons under the harsh fluorescent lights.
Mark Vance, head of executive security and Dominic’s most trusted confidant for a decade, looked up with a welcoming smile.
“Mr. Romano, you’re back early—did everything go smoothly at the downtown docks?” Mark asked smoothly.
Dominic stopped five feet away from him, his hand resting casually over the concealed pistol beneath his coat.
“Everything went precisely as planned, Mark... except we found a missing file in the nursery archives,” Dominic said quietly.

Mark’s eyes flickered toward the security monitors near the door, his posture tightening imperceptibly.
“A file, sir? I oversee all estate documentation personally,” Mark replied, though a thin bead of sweat formed on his brow.
