Hospital lights are cruel.
They show everything.
The blood.
The fear.
The truth.
Doctors rushed me into surgery.
Adrian wasn't allowed inside.
So he waited.
Still. Silent.
Deadly.
Calls flooded his phone.
Board members.
Investors.
Media.
He ignored them all.
Until his father arrived.
"This is what happens when emotions interfere with business," Mr. Knight said coldly.
Adrian slowly stood.
"This is what happens when you underestimate your enemies."
For the first time, father and son stood on opposite sides of more than just a company.
Hours passed.
Finally, the surgeon stepped out.
"The bullet missed major organs. She's stable."
Stable.
Adrian closed his eyes briefly.
Relief.
But then
"However, we found something unusual in her bloodwork."
His eyes opened.
"What do you mean unusual?"
The doctor hesitated.
"There were sedatives in her system before the shooting."
Adrian's expression changed.
"She was drugged."
This wasn't just kidnapping.
It was staged chaos.
Which meant…
Victoria didn't act alone.
Do you think Adrian's father is secretly involved… or is there a third hidden enemy?
Comment: FATHER or SHADOW.
