Chapter 12 - THE FIRE AT THE RIVER WAREHOUSE
The fire started just after midnight.
One of my warehouses near the river erupted in flames.
By the time firefighters arrived, the roof was collapsing.
Investigators suspected retaliation from associates still loyal to Victor.
I stood across the street watching the building burn.
Daniel approached.
“Boss.”
I nodded.
“Anyone inside?”
He shook his head.
“No.”
Relief washed through me.
The warehouse had been part of my empire for fifteen years.
I'd made fortunes there.
Issued orders.
Built alliances.
Destroyed enemies.
Now it was disappearing into smoke.
Daniel looked at me.
“You okay?”
I watched the flames.
Then answered:
“Yes.”
He frowned.
“Really?”
I nodded.
May you like
“It's just a building.”
And for the first time, I meant it.
