Chapter 6 - The Unseen Contract
The Chief of Surgery rushed into the lobby area.
Doctor Robert Vance wore blue surgical scrubs and coat.
He was Michael's uncle and David's younger brother.
My stomach churned as I recognized his familiar face.
The entire family was part of this medical empire.
Doctor Vance walked straight to the registration desk counter.
He looked at his nephew handcuffed on the floor.
"What is the meaning of this restraint?" Doctor Vance.
"Release my nephew immediately! He is a respected board!"
The female clerk stood her ground behind the glass.
She turned the computer screen toward Doctor Vance directly.
"Read the second attachment on Mrs. Emily's file."
Doctor Vance leaned over, scanning the blue monitor screen.
His arrogant, authoritative expression froze completely in place.
His eyes bulged behind his rimless gold reading glasses.
The second attachment was a certified corporate bill sale.
A contract selling my unborn child's umbilical cord blood.
And selling my rights to my own internal organs.
David's pharmaceutical firm had signed a fifty-million-dollar deal.
A deal with an overseas private experimental medical facility.
To execute the contract, I needed to be incapacitated.
I needed to be declared brain dead during delivery.
They had scheduled a forced emergency C-section today.
A C-section where Doctor Vance would be lead surgeon.
I would never wake up from the anesthesia gas.
My baby would be taken to an overseas laboratory.
And I would be buried as an accidental casualty.
Pure, paralyzing, ice-cold horror flooded my entire body.
My own husband had priced my life at millions.
He had agreed to murder his pregnant wife for.
I fell back onto the stretcher pillow, gasping air.
Tears rained down my cheeks onto my T-shirt.
"You monsters..." I whispered, my voice barely audible.
"You were going to kill me on table."
Michael stopped thrashing on floor, staring up cold.
A sinister, evil smile spread across his pale mouth.
"You were always worthless to me, Emily," Michael.
"Your baby's stem cells are worth millions more."
The security guards slammed his face onto floor hard.

"Shut your mouth, you psycho!" the guard barked.
