Chapter 2: The Director Arrives News spread through the hospital in minutes. A pregnant woman. Attempted murder. A billionaire involved. The Director of St. Gabriel Medical Center immediately canceled every meeting. Dr. Adrian Sinclair entered the emergency floor with astonishing speed. The moment he saw Khloe's medical file... His face turned white. "Where is she?" The nurses pointed toward the operating room. Marcus stood outside, his suit covered with Khloe's blood. Dr. Sinclair stopped. "Marcus." Marcus nodded. "She's inside." The director looked through the operating room window before asking quietly, "What happened?" Marcus handed him the footage from Camera 17. Dr. Sinclair watched every second. His hands began shaking. Then... He removed his glasses. Very few people had ever seen the hospital director lose his composure. When he finally spoke... His voice broke. "She..." "...is my niece." Marcus looked up in shock. "What?" "Khloe's mother was my younger sister." "We kept our relationship private because our family never wanted influence to affect her career." Marcus suddenly understood. Khloe had never once used her family name. She wanted to succeed on her own. Dr. Sinclair slowly turned toward security. "Seal every recording." "No one deletes a single frame." Then he faced Isabella. "You assaulted my niece." "You endangered my grandnephew." "I promise you..." "You will never walk away from this." For the first time... Isabella realized she wasn't fighting only Marcus anymore. She had awakened an entire family.
