Chapter 7 - Rocco Interrogates Preston About His Deep Corporate Betrayal
Back at the Long Island estate, Rocco stormed into the underground archive room where Preston was tied securely to a heavy oak chair.
Preston looked up, his eyes wide with absolute terror as Rocco approached him with slow, deliberate, predatory steps across the concrete floor.
“Rocco! Thank God! You have to help me, Gary is going to have me killed!” Preston screamed, straining against the heavy nylon zip-ties.
Rocco grabbed Preston by the collar of his ruined tuxedo shirt, hauling him upward until his feet barely touched the cold floor.
“You stood there and watched that psychotic woman try to murder my sister-in-law and my unborn niece,” Rocco growled, his face inches away.
“Brenda manipulated me! She said she had documents proving I embezzled from the family logistics firm!” Preston sobbed hysterically.
“You did embezzle from the logistics firm, Preston! We audited your accounts six months ago and gave you a chance to pay it back!” Rocco roared.
Preston’s jaw dropped open in stunned silence, his eyes darting frantically around the dark, stone-walled room as the truth hit him.

“You... you already knew?” Preston whispered, his voice trembling uncontrollably as the cold reality of his stupidity washed over him.
“We knew everything. We were waiting to see who you would betray when the pressure mounted,” Rocco said, shoving him back into the chair.
