Chapter 15 - SOPHIA’S ULTIMATE CHECKMATE!Dominic’s face drained of color. He looked from the sniper barrel staring down at him to Rocco, who was now standing upright with a cold, terrifying smirk on his face.
"You... you played me," Dominic choked out, his hands trembling slightly as he held the electronic tablet. "The girl didn't go to the panic room."
"I told you, Dominic," Rocco said smoothly, stepping forward and kicking his dropped pistol back into his hand with lightning speed. "You understand ledgers and numbers, but you don't understand people. You never accounted for loyalty."
"Shoot her! Kill her!" Dominic shrieked to his two mercenaries holding Elena.
Before the guards could even turn their weapons toward the overhead catwalk, two muffled thuds echoed through the hall. Rocco’s elite sniper guards, stationed outside the broken skylights, synchronized their shots with precision. Both mercenaries dropped instantly, neutralized without harming Elena by a hair.
Elena stumbled forward, and Rocco caught her safely, pulling her out of the line of fire.
Dominic stood completely alone, surrounded by his fallen men. He lunged frantically for a concealed pistol in his coat holster, but before his fingers could wrap around the grip, a deafening gunshot rang out.
Bang!
The bullet struck the marble floor mere inches from Dominic’s shoe, sending shards of stone flying and pinning him in place.
"Make one more move," Sophia called down from the catwalk, her voice steady as a rock, "and the next bullet won't miss your knee cap."
