CHAPTER 9 – The Billionaire Behind the Kill List
Dr. Marcus Hale finally broke.
Locked inside the interrogation room, he stared at Emily through the one-way mirror.
"I never chose the victims," he whispered.
"I only followed orders."
Detective Mason slid a thick folder across the table.
"Whose orders?"
Marcus hesitated.
Then he wrote a single name.
Evelyn Blackwood.
The room went silent.
Emily frowned.
"Who is she?"
The detective's face turned pale.
"The founder of the Blackwood Medical Foundation."
She was one of the country's most respected philanthropists.
She donated billions to children's hospitals.
She appeared on magazine covers beside presidents and celebrities.
The world called her "The Angel of Medicine."
But according to Marcus...
she secretly owned private clinics where wealthy patients disappeared forever.
Every victim had one thing in common.
They all possessed enormous fortunes with no direct heirs.
Ryan seduced them.
Marcus created fake illnesses.
Evelyn inherited fortunes through shell companies hidden across the world.
For twenty years...
they had built the perfect murder empire.
Emily whispered,
"So... I was never supposed to survive."
Marcus slowly nodded.
"You became the first mistake we've ever made."
Just then, every television in the police station switched on automatically.
A live press conference had begun.
Standing behind the podium...
was Evelyn Blackwood herself.
She smiled calmly at the cameras.
"I've come today," she announced,
"to donate another one hundred million dollars to medical research."
No one watching knew they were applauding a woman the police were about to arrest.
But before detectives could move...

their phones exploded with emergency alerts.
Evelyn Blackwood's private jet had just taken off.
