The bedroom door was slightly open. Victor lay in bed next to his wife. Two kids slept in the next room.Marcel stepped inside. Victor woke up suddenly. "Who the hell are you?"Marcel smiled coldly. "You should have kept your mouth shut about me."Victor sat up fast.

Jake stumbled back. Blood flowed from his nose. Jake wiped his face. "You took Olivia from me. I will kill you for that." "I took everything from you? You stole my girlfriend and fucked her while I worked three jobs to give her a life , you have some guts don't showing up here and accusing me of everything you are" "Fuck you!" Jake yelled and went after him again "Olivia has always been mine from the beginning, you're just a little wench" Marcel hit him again. Harder. "You are nothing. A nobody. Olivia is mine now."

The Weight of Blood
Marcel anger boiled over the moment his men stepped into the room with the bad news. "Mrs Lang is under police inspection with the kids," one man said carefully. "They have her in protective custody at a safe house. We cannot get close right now. The police are watching every move." Marcel slammed his fist on the table so hard the wood cracked. "Try harder. Find a way. Poison her food. Stage an accident. Anything. She cannot talk. She saw my face. She knows what I look like. If she talks to the sketch artist we are all finished." The man shifted uncomfortably. "We will try, sir. But it is risky business with the police there. They have guards. They have cameras. One wrong move and we all go down." Marcel voice stayed cold and sharp, frustration slowly turning into fear. "Make it happen. I do not care how risky it is. I do not care about the police. Just get it done. I want her gone by tomorrow. No loose ends. No witnesses." The man nodded quickly. "Yes, sir. We will find a way. I
