Chapter 4 - A DANGEROUS ALLIANCE

Valeria needed a car and a gun. She broke into the estate's standalone garage, only to find herself staring down the barrel of a suppressed pistol. Holding the weapon was Dominic Vale, Alejandro's most lethal and fiercely loyal enforcer, a man feared by rival cartels and corrupt politicians alike. He had been sidelined by Renata on false charges of insubordination while his boss was away. Valeria didn't beg. She unzipped her bag and pulled out the bloodied, needle-filled pillow, tossing it at Dominic’s feet. Dominic lowered his weapon, his cold eyes taking in the rusted, poisoned spikes, and then looking at the dying boy in Valeria’s arms. The allegiance was instantly formed.
