Dr. Marcus Taylor sat in the dimly lit motel room, his legs stretched across the coffee table, a satisfied smirk on his face. The power he now held over Emily Cross, the picture-perfect wife of the man who ruined his life, was intoxicating.
Marcus was once a respected surgeon, celebrated for his skill and precision. But behind the sterile walls of the operating room, he had a darker side...he was full of greed and ambition that led him to cut corners. He had been caught falsifying medical records and performing illegal surgeries for profit. When Adrian Cross discovered the discrepancies, he didn't hesitate to blow the whistle, leading to Marcus losing his medical license and reputation.
Now, few months later, Marcus had found his way back into Adrian's life...indirectly, through Emily. And what a goldmine she turned out to be. Her secret was almost too good to believe, and Marcus intended to milk it for everything it was worth.
