Chapter 9 - Marcus Vance Enters The Hospital Room With Guards
Less than ten minutes later, heavy footsteps echoed outside Elena’s intensive care unit as a group of armed private guards approached.
The door swung open, and Marcus Vance stepped into the room wearing a bespoke charcoal suit and an unreadable smile.
“Caleb, my dear brother-in-law, I heard the miraculous news about Elena’s resurrection on the morning news,” Marcus greeted smoothly.

“You tried to bury my wife alive for corporate stock shares, you cowardly bastard,” Caleb accused, stepping directly into Marcus’s space.
Marcus chuckled softly, gesturing toward the two armed security operatives standing stoically by the doorway.
