Chapter 6 - The billionaire's wrath
I aimed my weapon directly at my brother's chest, my hands shaking with an absolute, murderous rage.
Marcus just laughed out loud, knowing full well I would never risk firing a bullet while he held Lily.
He casually explained that our late father's billionaire trust fund had a strict, unbreakable moral clause.
The entire inheritance would permanently pass to the first son who produced a legitimate, biological heir.
Marcus had somehow discovered my biological connection to Lily through the dark web syndicate that was currently hunting Sarah.
He fully intended to legally adopt Lily himself and claim the massive family fortune before I could stop him.
He tossed a thick stack of legal documents onto the shattered glass of the patio table.
It was an emergency custody order, officially signed by a corrupt federal judge currently on his payroll.
He told me that if I did not surrender Lily quietly, he would make a very simple phone call.
That phone call would order his armed men at the hospital to inject a lethal dose of air directly into Sarah's IV line.
My blood ran completely cold as I realized the impossible, sickening choice standing in front of me.
I could fight to save my newly discovered daughter, or I could surrender to save her dying mother.
I slowly lowered my gun, raising my hands in painful, agonizing defeat.

Marcus smirked in triumph and walked backward into the private elevator with my terrified little girl.
He left me standing entirely alone in the ruined penthouse, promising to kill Sarah anyway if I dared to follow him.
