Mob Boss Saves Airport Worker From His Own Lieutenant Then Demands She Ruin Him
Previously: A hardworking attendant faces the wrath of a mob lieutenant, only to be saved by the legendary crime boss. But his protection comes with a deadly price.
The Boss's Intervention
Without a word, Brock’s arm whipped back and then forward, delivering a vicious open-handed slap that cracked across Sarah’s mouth. The force snapped her head sideways, splitting her lower lip. A bead of crimson splattered onto her white collar as the silver teapot clattered to the floor.
"I'm so sorry, sir... please don't hurt me..."
Sarah’s voice was a choked whimper, tears now streaming down her face. Brock exhaled through flared nostrils, a smug, cruel sneer plastered on his face. He seemed to relish her pain. Meanwhile, Don Marcus Vance, the towering crime boss, slowly rose from his armchair. The atmosphere in the lounge shifted, the air pressure dropping as if under immense weight. He moved with a terrifying, predatory grace, buttoning the front of his midnight-cashmere trench coat. The flashing runway strobes cast dramatic, fleeting silhouettes through the rain-streaked glass behind him.

"You dare raise your hand against an innocent working woman under my roof, Brock?"
Marcus’s voice was a deep, gravelly baritone, laced with quiet, deadly rage. Brock’s smug expression vanished instantly, replaced by ashen shock. His throat bobbed in a dry swallow as he stared at his boss, the color draining from his face. Sarah, clutching her bruised cheek, looked up at Marcus, bewildered awe replacing her terror.
Before Brock could stammer a reply, Marcus closed the distance in two explosive strides. His leather-gloved hand shot forward like an iron clamp, seizing Brock’s windpipe. With shocking strength, Marcus lifted the lieutenant completely off his feet, Brock’s frantic hands clawing uselessly at the unyielding grip. Marcus violently slammed Brock spine-first onto a solid Carrera marble coffee table. The impact echoed with a bone-rattling boom, shattering the table’s glass centerpiece into a thousand glittering shards. Brock wheezed, his voice a raspy choke.
"Don Marcus... mercy... please... I didn't see you—"
Marcus pressed his forearm deeper, cold fury etched on his face. Sarah gasped, her hand flying to her mouth, eyes wide with disbelief as the drama unfolded before her.
