Before Samantha could step closer to inflict more harm, a thunderous voice echoed down the corridor, cutting through the chaotic sound of splashing water. Stop! yelled Marcus, rushing around the corner into the sunlit hallway. His tailored suit was instantly splattered with water, his handsome face twisted in absolute horror and blinding fury as he witnessed his pregnant wife struggling on the flooded floor. Samantha froze in a medium close-up, her former arrogance vanishing instantly as she spun toward the entrance. Her hands flew up in a frantic, defensive gesture as she realized her brother had seen the entire attack unfold. In a quick profile pan, Samantha turned back to look at the ruined aquarium, where water was now dripping steadily from the broken frame, before facing Marcus again with a pale, panic-stricken face.
