Chapter 5 - Rose Recalls The Night She Fled For Her Life
Rose knelt beside Ethan, pulling him into a warm, protective embrace as memories of that terrifying night resurfaced.
“I remember the brakes failing on my car, David, and the hospital nurse telling me you wanted me dead,” Rose whispered.
David’s breath hitched in his throat, his eyes widening in pure horror at the accusation.
“I never said that, Rose! I was told you didn't survive the impact on the highway,” David swore on his life.
“Victoria was the one who visited my hospital room while I was unconscious under sedation,” Rose revealed calmly.
She looked directly past David toward Victoria, who was now sobbing hysterically against the ballroom wall.
“She told me that if I ever returned to your life, both me and my unborn child would be eliminated,” Rose stated.
A collective gasp echoed through the remaining crowd of elite socialites and high-society executives.
David stood up slowly, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned completely white.
