The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 194

Chapter 196

Ten Minutes Earlier

Alex and Sophia sat side by side in the dimly lit interrogation room, their wrists and ankles cuffed with heavy chains bolted to the floor.

Sophia's breathing grew ragged.

She hated how the gloom pricked at her brain with worst-case scenarios.

"Alex," she said quietly, her voice trembling, "do you honestly think we'll get out of here alive?"

Alex didn't move at first.

His gaze stayed locked on the metal door. "We will," he finally muttered. "We're walking out of this place in one piece. I guarantee it.'

A humorless laugh escaped Sophia's lips.

"Easy for you to say. You haven't had nightmares about this creep, Mr. Bernard. His record in the station is as dirty as it gets."

She swallowed hard, her next words barely above a whisper. "And with Sir Raymond pulling the strings, it's like they have the entire city in their pocket. We don't stand a chance."

Alex turned to face her then-really turned, with a look that pinned her in place. "Sophia, have you ever trusted me? Even for one second?"

She opened her mouth but only managed a croak. The thought stuck in her throat like a jagged rock.

Before she could get another word out, the metal door groaned open.

Mr. Bernard stomped inside with a posse of four burly men behind him, each wearing that bored, dangerous sneer only seasoned criminals wore.

A battered duffel bag hit the metal table with a dull thud, its zipper snapping open to reveal thick wads of cash.

Bernard shot them a rotten grin, displaying crooked, yellowing teeth.

"Listen up, kiddies. This is one million dollars in unmarked bills." He kicked the bag closer.
