Ethan's mind raced with twisted logic. "The curse demands a male heir. I'll ensure Emily fits the bill."
He conspired with a rogue doctor, obtaining an illegal, experimental hormone treatment.
"Testrotron Injection" promised to alter Emily's biology, suppressing feminine traits.
Ethan crept into Emily's nursery, the child sleeping peacefully.
Ethan's eyes gleamed with malice as he injected one-third of the Testrotron Injection into Emily's tiny arm.
Just as he was about to administer the next dose, Lucas burst into the nursery.
"Ethan, stop!" Lucas roared.
Ethan's hand trembled, the needle hovering above Emily's skin.
Lucas pounced, grabbing Ethan's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Lucas demanded.
Ethan's face twisted. "Securing the family's future."
Lucas's grip tightened. "You're poisoning my child."
With a swift motion, Lucas knocked the needle from Ethan's hand.
"Touch Emily again, and you're dead," Lucas threatened.
Ethan's eyes flashed anger, but Lucas's fury silenced him.
Sophia rushed in, tears streaming down her face.
"Emily! Oh, God."
And Sophia and Lucus went back to that town
Ethan's sinister plans were left exposed.
