Chapter 3 - The Doctor's Secret
The silence in the foyer was deafening. Brandon stared from Sienna to Tasha, his mind scrambling to process the nightmare unfolding before him.
"What footage?" Brandon stammered, looking at Sienna. "Sienna, what is she talking about?"
"She's lying! She's trying to manipulate you!" Sienna shrieked, her voice losing its polished tone.
Tasha didn't blink. "Officer Jenkins was very thorough, Sienna. But it wasn't just the security cameras that caught you. Do you remember Dr. Harrison? The lead trauma surgeon who worked on me for forty-five minutes?"
Sienna’s breath hitched.
"When my heart stopped," Tasha continued, stepping down to the last stair, "you handed Dr. Harrison a signed DNR order and a transfer of authority, claiming I had instructed you to withhold emergency interventions if complications arose. You told him to stop compressions."
Brandon looked horrified. "Sienna... you did what?"
"Dr. Harrison took one look at that paper, noticed the date was forged three hours after I was admitted, and said one sentence that saved my life and sealed yours," Tasha said, her gaze pinning Sienna to the spot.
Tasha leaned in close. "He looked you dead in the eye and said: 'This signature is warm ink on a cold document, and if you touch my patient again, I’ll have you arrested for attempted murder before her heart beats twice.'"
Sienna took two fast steps back toward the door, but Marcus Vance stepped into her path, holding up a formal injunction.
"Sienna Martinez," Marcus announced coldly, "you are officially served with an immediate freeze order on all joint accounts associated with Coleman Logistics, a restraining order barring you from hospital grounds, and a subpoena for a criminal grand jury investigation into document forgery and medical sabotage."

Brandon grabbed Sienna’s arm, his face twisted in panic. "You lied to me! You told me she signed those medical consents months ago! You told me it was her wish!"
"Touch me and I’ll ruin you, Brandon!" Sienna spat, pulling her arm away violently. "You were in on this! You wanted her money just as much as I did! You sat right next to me while she bled out!"
