Chapter 14 - The Interrogation of a Traitor
Within thirty seconds, Marco and four massive, undercover guards burst through the pharmacy doors, their weapons drawn.
They found Willa standing calmly in the corner, while Dr. Aris lay groaning on the floor, bleeding heavily from the cut on his forehead.
"Secure him," Marco roared, his men violently grabbing the traitorous doctor and slamming him against the wall.
Marco rushed over to Willa, his terrifying expression softening into profound relief when he saw she was completely unharmed.
"Are you injured, Mrs. Kane?" Marco asked urgently.
"No, I am entirely fine," Willa replied, straightening her pristine white coat.
"Take him to the secure basement at the estate."
"Everett is going to want to have a very long conversation with him."
Two hours later, Dr. Aris was tied securely to a heavy steel chair in the dark, soundproof interrogation room beneath the Kane mansion.
Everett walked into the room, slowly removing his expensive suit jacket and rolling up the sleeves of his crisp white shirt.
His dark eyes were completely hollow, devoid of any human mercy or understanding.
Willa stood behind the two-way mirror in the observation room, watching the terrifying, violent man she loved protect their family.
"Please, Mr. Kane, Thorne has my brother!" David sobbed pathetically, terrified by the sheer, imposing silence of the mafia boss.
Everett did not say a single word.
He picked up a heavy steel wrench from the table and slammed it violently into the concrete wall directly next to David’s head.
The deafening sound echoed through the room, causing the doctor to shriek in absolute terror.
"You brought a loaded weapon into the building where my wife saves lives," Everett growled, his voice a lethal, vibrating threat.
"I do not care about your brother, David."
"I care about exactly how Thorne is communicating with you, and what his next move is."
David wept hysterically, realizing that Everett Kane was a far more terrifying monster than Marcus Thorne could ever hope to be.
"He has formed an alliance with the Russian syndicate in Chicago!" David confessed rapidly, desperate to save his own life.
"Thorne is already in the city."
"They are planning a massive, coordinated tactical strike on this estate tonight!"
"They want to massacre your entire family in your sleep."
Everett dropped the heavy wrench onto the table, his mind instantly shifting into brilliant, cold, tactical calculations.
He walked out of the interrogation room, locking the heavy steel door behind him.
He met Willa in the hallway, grabbing her shoulders firmly.
"The war is here," Everett stated with absolute conviction.
"I need you and Leo in the reinforced panic room immediately."

Willa nodded bravely, kissing his cheek with fierce, unwavering devotion.
"Bring them to their knees, Everett," Willa whispered, completely supporting the violent monster who kept her safe.
