Marcus reached his sister near the edge of the hallway, which opened directly onto an opulent indoor sunken pool area surrounded by tropical greenery. Samantha backed up until her heels touched the edge of the blue water, her eyes wide with mounting terror as she realized there was no escape from her brother's wrath. Marcus didn't hesitate for a single second. Driven by raw protective instinct, he delivered a swift, powerful kick straight toward Samantha, sending her flying backward off the marble ledge. Out! Marcus bellowed in a stern, authoritative voice that rattled the windows. Samantha hit the surface of the indoor pool with a massive splash, sinking into the deep water as Marcus immediately dropped to his knees to lift his crying wife safely into his arms, bringing a dramatic and violent end to his sister's cruel ambition.
