"Suit yourself," she said. "But don't say I didn't warn you."Ethan watched as the woman brought out a small device and pressed a button. Suddenly, Chloe screamed, and Ethan felt his heart skip a beat."What did you do?" Ethan demanded, his voice shaking."I implanted a microchip in your sister's brain," the woman said with a cold smile. "If you don't confess, I can activate it at any time. And trust me, it won't be pleasant for her."Ethan felt a surge of anger washes over him.

"You left me when I needed you the most. And now, you want to play the concerned ex-husband?"Her ex-husband's face fell, and he took a step back. "I'm sorry, Emily," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I know I messed up. I was selfish, and I regret what I did. But I still care about you, and I wanted to make sure you're okay."Emily shook her head. "Save it," she said. "I don't want to hear it."She went to close the door, but her ex-husband blocked it with his foot. "Wait," he said, his voice urgent. "There's something you need to know. Something important."Emily narrowed her eyes. "What could be so important that you had to show up uninvited?"Her ex-husband hesitated, then took a deep breath.
