Marcus’ POV

Dr. Harrison had performed over three hundred autopsies during his ten year career as a medical examiner. He had seen bodies in every possible state of decay, had examined victims of murders, suicides, accidents, and natural deaths. He dealt with grieving families, and complicated legal cases.

But he never had a corpse sit up and scream at him.

"Sweet mother of God," he gasped, stumbling backward so quickly that he knocked over a tray of surgical instruments. The metal tools scattered across the floor with a crash that echoed through the room we were in.

I was sitting up now, my vision slowly clearing as the last traces of whatever drug had been keeping me unconscious finally wore off. The examination table was cold on my back, and I could feel the chill of the air on my skin. I was naked.

"What the hell is happening?" I demanded and realized my voice was hoarse and unfamiliar. "Where am I? What were you about to do to me?"

Dr. Harrison stared at me like I was something o

She had died the night Marcus betrayed her for the last time.Today, Elena Thompson was reborn again.The name felt strange in my mouth when I said it to the clerk behind the counter. But it was my maiden name, the name I had before I made the mistake of trusting Marcus Martinez with my heart and my life."Phoenix Advisory," I told the clerk when she asked for my company name.I chose the name Phoenix, like the bird that rises from ashes. Like something beautiful growing from something destroyed.It was perfect.The paperwork took two hours. There were so many forms to fill out, fees to pay and questions to answer about what kind of business I was starting."Financial consulting," I explained to every official who asked. "Helping small businesses avoi

  • Revenge is Best Served Cold   045: First Blood

    Marcus' POV The gravity of pain I felt hit me like a truck when I opened my eyes.The side of my body felt like someone had taken a baseball bat and hit it several times. Then used a knife on it. Then set it on fire.I tried to sit up and immediately fell back down with a groan. There was something pulling at my skin. Something tight and itchy.I touched it and what I felt was stitches.The memory then came flooding back. The operating room. Dr. Armando with his scalpel. The needle going into my arm.They had taken something from my body.I lifted the hospital gown I found myself wearing with shaking hands and saw the bandages covering my left side. White gauze was held in place with medical tape. Already there were spots of red seeping through which were obviously blood."Marcus?" A weak voice called from somewhere nearby.I turned my head and saw Isabella in another bed on the corner of the room. She looked terrible. Pale and sweaty, with slightly dark circles under her eyes. She t

  • Revenge is Best Served Cold   044: Building from the ashes

    Elena's POV I sat at my kitchen table with my laptop open, staring at numbers that still didn't feel real. $5,200,000.00 The money Marcus had loaned from Victor. The money he thought would buy him a new life with Sophia. The money that was now mine. It was sitting in an account in an offshore account. Safe, untraceable and clean. I took a sip of my coffee and opened another window on my computer. Time to put this money to good use. For the past three hours, I had been reading through Marcus' old business files. All the deals he had made. All the clients he had stolen from. All the companies he had helped destroy with his terrible advice. Marcus thought he was smart. He thought he understood business and money and how to make both work for him. But he was wrong about everything. He was just making uninformed investment decisions for clients like a gambler. I could see it clearly now. Every mistake he had made. Every opportunity he had missed. Every client he had failed becaus

  • Revenge is Best Served Cold   043: Fighting for Life

    Isabella's POV The needle went into Marcus's arm with a soft pop.I watched in horror as Dr. Armando pushed the clear liquid into my brother's body. Marcus tried to pull away, but the restraints held him tight against the metal table."No," I whispered. "Please, no."But it was too late. The drug was already working. Marcus' eyes started to get heavy. His struggles got weaker and weaker until he went completely still."There we go," Dr. Armando said, pulling the empty syringe away. "Much better."He walked over to his tray of instruments and picked up a scalpel. The blade was so sharp it seemed to cut through the air itself.The smell in this room was making me sick. It was like a hospital, but wrong. Too much bleach trying to cover up something terrible. Something that smelled like blood and death and fear.And there were sounds coming from other rooms. Sounds that made my skin crawl.Screaming. Crying. Begging.This wasn't just one operating room. This was a whole building. A whole

  • Revenge is Best Served Cold   042: The Collector's Operating Room

    Marcus' POV I woke up to the taste of blood in my mouth and the feeling of cold leather on my wrists.The world came back to me slowly, like swimming up from the bottom of a deep, dark pool. First the pain. It was a sharp, throbbing pain in my head where someone had hit me. Then the smell came to me. There was definitely an antiseptic smell but it was mixed with another bad smell.Fear.I tried to move and immediately realized I was strapped down. Thick leather restraints held my wrists and ankles to what was definitely a metal table. The surface beneath me was cold and hard, like the table I woke up in during the autopsy.But this was feeling much worse than that.I forced my eyes open and immediately wished I hadn't.I was in what looked like an operating room, but not the kind you'd find in any legitimate hospital. The walls were bare concrete, stained with things I didn't want to think about. There were no windows, no decorations, nothing that suggested this place existed in the

  • Revenge is Best Served Cold   041: The Monster's Smile

    Dr Parker's POV Elena's laugh filled the apartment like music. Not the sweet, gentle laughter I heard from her during Marcus's medical appointments, but something darker. Something that made my skin crawl."A monster?" she repeated, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Is that what I am, Dr. Parker?"I stood in her doorway, trembling with rage and terror. "Yes. That's exactly what you are."Elena walked back to her wine glass and picked it up, swirling the deep red liquid like she had all the time in the world."Let me understand this correctly," she said, her voice perfectly calm. "I'm a monster because I escaped the evil plans you all had for me?""That's not—""Because I refused to let my husband abandon me with millions in debt while he ran away with my step-sister?"Her words hit me like physical blows."Because I wouldn't quietly accept being destroyed by people I trusted?"Elena took a slow sip of her wine, her eyes never leaving my face."If that makes me a monster, Dr. Parker
