Beneath the Surface
Bella's Pov
The tension in the Asher Hospital was palpable the moment Sam and I walked through the double doors. His presence alone carried enough weight to silence the staff. It wasn't just because he was Sam Asher; it was because he was the Chief Director of this institution, a role he rarely exercised, but one that came with undeniable power.
Sam's expression was cold and calculated, a mask of control that betrayed the storm brewing underneath. I stayed close, my heart racing as we headed toward the administrative wing. His personal bodyguard, Jacob, walked a few steps behind us, scanning the area like a hawk.
Jonathan, his secretary, had already arrived and was waiting for us outside the director's office. He handed Sam a folder and spoke in a low voice. "Everything you asked for is in here, sir. It seems there's been some unusual activity surrounding the DNA test results."
