Chapter 183: Shock
Marcella looked closely at the bottom of the door. There was a gap and through the gap, she could see a dark shadow.
Someone was standing behind the door!
Her heart started to pound. As if the danger she was in was not apparent, now, she had definite proof. She walked steadily forward and noticed the shadow under the door getting darker.
It must be Mark Paulo.
He called her and was lying in wait for her. She looked at the gates. Henry was still not there. She could only sigh. It was stupid of her to rush here without having any backup plan.
When she heard Tony’s life was in danger, she rushed here without thinking twice.
Heh!
She took a side step and took another look at the front yard. This time, she walked along the porch to have a good look behind the hedges.
Dead bodies! There were at least twenty men drenched in blood lying behind those hedges. It was a bloodbath. She couldn’t even recognize a single person there. It could be Tony’s people or it could be Mark Paulo’s people. She had no idea.
Could it be Mclaughlin? Is he trying to double-cross me and get in the good favors of Paul Romano now that he was connected to the Mellon family?
That thought crossed her mind. Whatever was happening, whoever arranged for this, one thing she knew—she was screwed!
Her knees went weak. It has been a while since she was in danger. Well, she was in danger all the time but Tony protected her after their marriage. She was no longer the Marcella who always looked behind her shoulder for any possible danger.
