Chapter 12 - Ethan Surprises Everyone By Standing Up To Fight
Outside in the master bedroom, Robert Vance stood laughing by the locked secret door with a smug expression.
“She’s trapped in the maze with my best tactical squad, Ethan; she won't survive the next ten minutes,” Robert sneered.
Ethan sat silently in his motorized wheelchair, his dark eyes locked onto his brother with an unreadable expression.
“You always underestimated me, Robert... you thought my legs were the only thing you managed to break,” Ethan whispered.
Slowly, deliberately, Ethan placed both hands firmly on the armrests of his wheelchair and pushed himself upward.
His muscles trembled under the sudden exertion, but he straightened completely, standing tall against the glittering city lights.
Robert’s arrogant smile evaporated instantly, replaced by sheer terror as he stared at his brother standing before him.
“You... you can walk?!” Robert stammered, taking an involuntary step backward across the polished marble floor.
Ethan took one slow, heavy step forward, his shadow falling menacingly over the trembling corporate traitor.
“I’ve been waiting five years to wipe that arrogant smirk off your face,” Ethan declared in a voice of pure ice.
