Not just a dominant, a dark dominant. In common parlance, a sadist. Practices extreme pleasure. Playing with blood, with breath, cutting. I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, Eric handed over a weighty Lincoln folder. The girl opened it and began to read.

Elena carefully read the dossier of her main enemy and understood that he was a difficult and dangerous opponent. Robert survived the horrors of war, emigrated to America at the age of 15, studied hard at school, and then at Harvard, where he clearly got in not through connections, but thanks to his intelligence and abilities. And as a result, he graduated with honors and a master's degree in economics. Then - the construction of an empire, bribery, blackmail, dirty games. Those methods that she always hated and never resorted to. When she got to the personal life section, the girl almost threw up. Photos of young blonde subs with beaten bodies and fanatically submissive looks brought back not the happiest memories of her own childhood. But there were no photos of Robert himself in the dossier.
- Is he that hard to photograph or is he ugly? - Lincoln quipped, looking at Eric
- Far from ugly, Al. An imposing man, in very good shape for his 75, - Eric replied. - You just didn't give me enough time, and I decided not to get his photo.
- I see. But the girls are still fools who lie under him, - Lincoln sipped her coffee.
- He promises them riches and fame in exchange for bodies. Of course, he deceives and uses their trust for his own purposes. - Welch clenched his fists.
- Miss Kruger is a brunette. How did she manage to fall into his web with such brains? - Elena remembered Daphne's angelic appearance and her heart sank.
- It's simple. He threatened to not pay for her education and to present everything in such a light that she seduced him. They did not have sex, he simply honed his dominant skills on her. The girl had to keep quiet and hide everything from her mother. But one day, during some quarrel, Robert showed Claire pictures from a BDSM club where her daughter was a submissive. And Claire's heart gave out. After burying her mother, Daphne found herself on the street, since De Niro received half of the shares of the Krueger Company in his will, and registered the other half in the name of his deputy, Thomas. And Miss Krueger was left with nothing. Only thanks to her godmother did the girl get her company back, - Eric looked closely at Elena. - El, are you sure you still want this war?
- Yes, I do. I will help Daphne, enter the European market and destroy Nobu, - Lincoln's eyes were so determined that even Edward and Eric felt uneas
Elena's POV.
I'm sitting in my office, plotting a war strategy against Robert. Honest business practices that Christian taught me come to mind, and I'm thinking hard about how to implement them more effectively.
- Miss Lincoln. Mr. Grey is here to see you, - Constance looks in and looks worried.
- Let him come in, - I say. What the hell is he doing here? But this is a reason to ask him about the attack on Elliot.
- Is it true? Are you going to fight De Niro? - Dad bursts in without greeting and looks at me worriedly.
- Dad, don't yell. Yes, I do. You should read what he does in business and his personal life. It's hell, Christian. And he needs to be stopped. If not me, then who? - I look at Dad and there is no fear in my eyes. I'm not afraid of the Greys, I'm not afraid of anyone. My heart is breaking with pain for Daphne and those subs whose lives were ruined.
- Elena, there's something you don't know about him. He's the supreme dark mage, he practices cannibalism and many other horrible ritual things. He's dangerous, El. Don't mess with him. If you want to enter the European market, I'll talk to my partners, they'll help, - Dad is seriously scared. And I'm not listening to him.
- Dad, he looks a lot like the one who tortured me, very similar... I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other. If I can defeat Robert, then I'll be able to get to my tormentor and take revenge on him, - I know that I was tortured by a powerful dark mage.
He beat me in front of his servants, staged BDSM shows and taught his confidants on me. Sometimes he bit and scratched me for the amusement of his pack. I don't know his name, but I will always remember his face with a predatory, crazy look, graying hair and a mole on his right cheek...
And I will have no peace until I find and avenge myself...
