Chapter 13 - Retaliation in the Night
At two o'clock in the morning, Marcus stood by the window of his high-rise penthouse in downtown Chicago[cite: 7].
Chloe was sleeping safely in an interior panic room protected by reinforced steel doors and biometric locks[cite: 7].
Suddenly, the glass in the living room shattered as four armed mercenaries wearing black tactical gear breached the balcony[cite: 7].
They carried suppressed submachine guns, moving in a practiced tactical formation across the dark floor[cite: 7].
Their objective was crystal clear: eliminate Marcus Vance and recover Martha's phone with the video footage[cite: 7].
A cold smile touched Marcus's lips as he stepped out from the shadows into the moonlight[cite: 7].
They thought they were attacking a soft, wealthy CEO[cite: 7].
