Chapter 11 - Caleb Confronts Marcus About The Forced Paralytic Drug

“Why Elena?” Caleb demanded, his voice dropping into a dangerously quiet register. “Why did she have to be the test subject?”

“You traded your own sister’s life for corporate shares and syndicate blood money,” Caleb stated with utter disgust.
“In our world, Caleb, sentimentality is a weakness that gets people buried—literally,” Marcus replied coldly, adjusting his silk tie.
“Your time running this city is officially finished, Marcus,” Caleb warned, his gaze unyielding.
