Chapter 6 - The Lion's Den
Victor could not breathe as he stared at his dead father's calling card.
His father had been the most terrifying cartel boss this city had ever seen.
Victor had personally watched his father's car explode into a massive ball of fire a decade ago.
He realized now that his father had faked his own death to pull the strings from the shadows.
His father was the true mastermind behind the human trafficking ring and Paul's sudden betrayal.
Sadi grabbed Victor's hand, pulling him out of his paralyzing shock.
She reminded him that they still had to find the flash drive to expose the truth.
Victor knew exactly where his father would hide such a valuable piece of leverage.
His father always operated out of a heavily fortified underground casino in the docks.
They needed a perfect disguise to infiltrate the exclusive, high-stakes gambling floor.
Victor took Sadi to a secret syndicate tailor hidden in the garment district.
The tailor quickly dressed Sadi in a stunning, backless crimson evening gown.
Victor wore a perfectly tailored tuxedo that hid his heavy combat weapons.
Sadi looked absolutely breathtaking, her bruises cleverly concealed by professional stage makeup.
Victor felt a fierce wave of possessive pride as he offered her his arm.
They drove a stolen luxury sports car to the heavily guarded entrance of the underground casino.
Victor used a fake alias to bypass the armed security at the massive steel doors.
They descended the grand staircase into the opulent, smoke-filled gambling hall.
Crystal chandeliers cast a golden glow over the wealthy criminals playing at the velvet tables.
Victor scanned the crowded room for the private VIP elevator that led to his father's office.
He gently guided Sadi through the sea of dangerous men and beautiful women.
They were just a few feet away from the golden elevator doors.
Suddenly, a massive spotlight flicked on and blinded them completely.
The lively casino music abruptly stopped, leaving the room in terrifying silence.

A chilling, familiar voice echoed through the hidden speakers above them.
The voice welcomed his prodigal son home and ordered the guards to seize the beautiful girl.
