Chapter 8 - Elena Whispers A Terrifying Warning About Her Brother
Elena stirred weakly on the hospital mattress, her fingers twitching as she caught Caleb’s arm to pull him closer.
Caleb immediately abandoned the cornered doctor, dropping to his knees beside the bed to listen to his wife’s frail voice.
“Caleb... don’t trust... Marcus...” Elena whispered, tears spilling over her eyelashes onto the crisp white pillowcase.
“Marcus? Your own brother?” Caleb asked, his mind spinning as he tried to connect the dots.
“He... he wanted the Vanguard shares... Martha helped him... they planned it all at the lake house,” Elena gasped for air.
Dr. Vance seized the moment of distraction to bolt out the door, sprinting down the corridor toward the service elevators.
Caleb didn’t chase him; the name Marcus Vance echoed in his ears like a death sentence for his family.

The conspiracy ran deeper, darker, and closer to home than Caleb could have ever imagined in his worst nightmares.
