“Take Me Home,” She Cried—Then Her Father Destroyed Her Husband’s Empire

Harrison smoothly shifted his body, pulling Evelyn back into the absolute protection of his frame.

He did not flinch or blink even a fraction of a second, despite the revolver pointed at his chest.

"Put the weapon down immediately, Richard," Harrison said, his voice dropping into a deadly, terrifying calm.

"You are executing a fatal mistake that you will not survive."

"My life is already completely destroyed, Harrison!" Richard spat hysterically, his whole frame shaking with rage.

"The federal marshals seized my private residence and all my assets at sunrise!"

"The global press is viciously tearing my name to shreds across every news outlet!"

"I have absolutely nothing left to lose on this earth!"

"You had plenty left to lose, Richard," Harrison said, his eyes narrowing like two icy daggers.

"Starting with your very breath."

Richard violently squeezed the heavy metallic trigger without a single second of hesitation.

BANG!

A deafening, terrifying gunshot echoed through the high ceilings of the vast, ruined ballroom.

Distressed women shrieked in panic and high-society men frantically dived behind heavy oak banquet tables.

Evelyn tightly squeezed her eyes shut, her entire heart stopping as she braced for the horrific impact.

When she slowly opened her eyes, Harrison was still standing firmly like an impenetrable brick fortress.

Richard was staring down at his own right hand in absolute, paralyzed horror and utter disbelief.

A bright, razor-thin red laser point was centered precisely directly on the middle of Richard's forehead.

A hidden tactical sniper positioned on the second-floor internal balcony had shot the revolver straight out of his grip.

Richard collapsed heavily onto his knees, helplessly clutching his bleeding, shattered right hand in immense agony.

Harrison took three slow, deliberate steps forward, gazing down at the broken, bleeding intruder with cold disdain.

"Did you honestly believe I wouldn't secure my own home against a desperate dog?" Harrison asked softly.
