Chapter 5 - Arthur’s Secret
I was rushed into an emergency trauma room to treat my injuries.
I had a fractured collarbone, a severe concussion, and three broken ribs.
The physical pain was agonizing, but my mind had never felt clearer.

“They stripped the assets, fired everyone, and drove my brother to an early grave.”
I gasped softly, realizing the depth of Marcus's cruelty.
“I took this security job knowing Marcus used this clinic for his VIP clients,” Arthur continued.
“I have been watching him for years, waiting for him to make a fatal mistake.”
Arthur smiled, a hard, satisfying grin.
“Today, he made that mistake.”
“We caught the devil on tape, Arthur,” I smiled back.
