Chapter 25 Empire Down

• Chapter 25: Into the Abyss
• The mansion was in chaos. The once pristine halls were now filled with the echoes of distant gunfire and shouts. Amanda’s mind was a whirlwind of fear and confusion as Vicktor dragged her through the winding corridors, his grip unyielding. She could barely keep up, her heart pounding in her chest, but she didn’t dare protest. The look on Vicktor’s face was one she had never seen before—a mixture of cold determination and something darker, something that sent a chill down her spine.
• As they rounded a corner, Amanda caught a glimpse of Vicktor’s men engaging with more intruders. The sound of gunfire was deafening, and she flinched with every shot. Vicktor didn’t stop, didn’t even look back as he pulled her further into the mansion, deeper into the labyrinth of rooms that made up his empire. He was on a mission, and nothing was going to get in his way.
