Chapter 2 - Rosalind Enters The Study To Reveal Shocking Truths
The heavy oak door swung open barely ten seconds after Damian’s call, revealing Rosalind Marsh standing in the hallway.
Her gray hair was neatly pinned back, and her apron was crisp, embodying decades of flawless service to the Reyes household.
“You called for me, Mr. Reyes?” Rosalind asked, stepping into the study with her hands clasped respectfully before her.

“She has bruises wrapped around both wrists, Rosalind,” Damian interrupted, lifting his gaze to meet the older woman’s eyes.
Rosalind’s breath hitched, her posture collapsing just a fraction as the defensive armor slipped from her shoulders.

“I… I suspected as much, sir, but she begged me not to say a word to anyone in the house,” Rosalind whispered.
“Who is doing it?” Damian demanded, the quiet fury in his tone vibrating through the mahogany desk.
