Chapter 9 - The Restoration
The chaotic, violent energy of the betrayal completely evaporated from the subterranean medical wing.
Within seconds, Dr. Vance’s body went completely, horrifyingly rigid. The heavy dose of the toxin permanently paralyzed him from the neck down. He couldn't move. He couldn't speak. He could only blink his eyes in absolute, suffocating terror as he realized he was trapped in his own body forever.
Caleb signaled for his elite security guards, who had finally rushed down the stairs.
"Take him to the private hospital wing of the offshore prison," Caleb commanded coldly. "Keep him alive. But do not give him any painkillers. Let him feel every single nerve ending permanently burning."
The guards dragged the paralyzed, silent traitor out of the basement, his existence completely swallowed into ruin forever. The threat was entirely neutralized.
Caleb turned back to Elena. He gently lifted her into his arms, completely ignoring the burning pain in his own recovering legs, and carried his beautiful fiancée out of the dark, damp cell and back up into the light of the massive estate.
Within an hour, Caleb’s cyber-team had used the encrypted code Lily had given him to access Dr. Vance’s Cayman accounts. They entirely recovered the stolen forty million dollars, permanently securing the syndicate’s wealth.
