Chapter 7 - The Master of the House
The gun clattered across the polished marble floor as Marcus crashed into a mahogany side table, shattering a glass vase into a hundred pieces.
Victor stood over his stepbrother, his chest heaving, his face dark with lethal fury. He stepped on Marcus's wrist, pinning him to the floor as the armed guards rushed in—not to help Marcus, but to bow before Victor.
"Secure him," Victor ordered the guards coldly. "Lock him in the cellar until the authorities arrive."
"You can't do this to me!" Marcus screamed as the guards dragged him away. "I'm your brother!"
"You stopped being my brother the day you targeted my daughter," Victor said without looking back.
He turned toward Emily, who was trembling violently near the marble staircase, holding little Ava tightly against her chest as the infant let out a soft whimper.
