Chapter 41

• Past
• The sound of gunfire had shattered the peaceful atmosphere, and the beach shore had turned into a war zone. Dominic's men and Victor's men had clashed, their guns blazing as they fought for control.
• Valerie had closed her eyes and covered her ears, waiting for the chaos to end. But as the sound of gunfire grew louder, she had heard Dominic's scream, and her eyes had snapped open. She had seen him lying on the sand, his body bloodied and broken.
