Chapter 9 - The Execution of the Engagement
Tight shot on Ethan’s face. His dark eyes expanded with sheer, unadulterated rage as he slowly turned his gaze back toward Sabrina cowering on the marble floor. The handsome, polite billionaire was completely gone, replaced by a ruthless, lethal protector.
"You’ve been drugging my niece?" Ethan delivered in a low, dangerous growl that made the surrounding executives physically step backward.
"Ethan, no! She's lying! The trauma made her crazy!" Sabrina shrieked hysterically, desperately trying to crawl away as Ethan’s massive security team began closing in from all sides of the ballroom.
Grace landed gracefully on the floor from her combat stance. She completely ignored the chaos unfolding around the bride. Instead, Grace stepped directly in front of Lily, positioning her athletic body as an impenetrable, human shield to protect the little girl from the ensuing madness.
"Your wedding is over, Mr. Caldwell," Grace stated in a cold, resolute voice, never taking her eyes off the fallen woman.
"Restrain her," Ethan ordered his security chief, his voice echoing with absolute, terrifying finality. "And lock down the estate. Nobody leaves until the police arrive. Especially that doctor."
Four massive security guards descended upon Sabrina, forcefully grabbing her arms and hauling her up from the floor. She kicked and screamed, her expensive ivory gown tearing as they dragged her away from the grand staircase, her dreams of stealing a multi-billion-dollar fortune completely shattered by a single, perfectly executed taekwondo kick.
