Chương 8 - The Interrogation of Daniel
Mason's men dragged Daniel out of the ballroom and threw him down the stairs into the venue's wine cellar.
Mason followed them down, his face a mask of absolute, terrifying fury.
Maya refused to be left behind; she sprinted down the concrete steps right on his heels.
Daniel was thrown into a wooden chair, gasping for air as the heavy door slammed shut above them.
"Who sent you?" Mason demanded, aiming his gun directly at Daniel's forehead.
"You think I'm afraid of you, Reed?" Daniel mocked, though his hands were shaking violently.
"I was running from the Volkovs!"
"They found out I was skimming from their accounts, and they told me to kill Kevin to clear my debt!"
Maya stepped forward, her expensive dress ruined by the dirty cellar floor.
"You dated me for three months just to get an invitation to this wedding?" she asked, her voice breaking.
Daniel looked at her, his expression twisting into a cruel, pitying smirk.
"You really are completely clueless, aren't you?"
Daniel leaned forward against his zip-ties, looking back and forth between Maya and the billionaire.
"Do you honestly think a billionaire mafia boss just happened to stumble into your crappy coffee shop?"
"Do you think he just volunteered to be your fake boyfriend out of the goodness of his heart?"
Maya froze, a terrible chill running down her spine.
Daniel laughed, a harsh, ugly sound that echoed in the dark cellar.

"He didn't find you by accident, Maya."
"He's been hunting you for months."
