Chapter 2: Lies Under the Spotlight
Chapter 2: Lies Under the Spotlight
Within twenty minutes, the executive conference room had been transformed into an emergency investigation center.
Hospital administrators.
Corporate attorneys.
Private security.
Every important figure waited in silence.
Isabella sat confidently beside her lawyer.
She still believed her story would survive.
After all...
Who would believe surveillance cameras over a frightened woman?
The chief of security connected a tablet to the giant screen.
"Recording begins at 9:42 PM."
The video played.
Everyone watched.
Khloe entered the suite alone.
She slowly removed her heels.
She smiled as she rubbed her pregnant belly.
Then Isabella walked in.
No words could be heard.
Only movements.
Isabella circled Khloe like a predator.
Khloe repeatedly stepped backward.
Then...
The first shove.
Khloe crashed into the marble table.
Gasps filled the room.
The second shove.
Even the attorneys stopped taking notes.
Then came the kick.
The pointed heel slammed directly into Khloe's side.
Someone whispered,
"My God..."
The recording ended.
Silence.
Marcus stood without saying a word.
He turned toward Isabella.
For the first time...
She looked genuinely terrified.
"Marcus..."
"I can explain."
"No."
His voice was colder than ice.
"You can explain it to the police."
Two detectives entered the room.
One calmly placed handcuffs around Isabella's wrists.
She stared in disbelief.
"You can't arrest me!"
The detective replied quietly,
May you like
"We're arresting you for aggravated assault on a pregnant woman."
Her confidence vanished instantly.
