Chapter 1: The Footage No One Could Deny
The silence inside the luxury recovery suite lasted only seconds.
Marcus dropped to his knees beside Khloe, ignoring the shards of crystal beneath his polished shoes.
"Khloe... look at me."
Her face had turned ghostly pale.
One trembling hand clutched her stomach.
"I can't feel..." she whispered before another wave of pain stole her breath.
Elaine immediately grabbed her phone.
"Emergency obstetrics! Now!"
Meanwhile, Isabella continued crying.
"Marcus, she attacked me first! She lost control—"
"Enough."
Marcus never raised his voice.
He simply looked at her.
For the first time in months...
There was no warmth.
No hesitation.
Only disbelief.
Hospital staff stormed into the suite pushing a stretcher.
Leading them was Dr. Adrian Bennett, chief trauma physician.
The moment he saw Khloe, his expression changed.
"Move!"
Within seconds they lifted her carefully onto the bed.
As they rushed toward the operating floor, Dr. Bennett quietly leaned toward Marcus.
"Stay with your wife."
Marcus followed without another glance at Isabella.
She suddenly felt cold.
Very cold.
Three minutes later...
Security Director Ethan Cole arrived carrying a tablet.
"Mr. Thorne..."
Marcus barely looked up.
"What?"
"There was an incident report."
He tapped the screen.
"The VIP suites have continuous security recording."
Everyone froze.
Isabella's breathing stopped.
"No..." she whispered.
Ethan pressed play.
The room watched in complete silence.
Khloe entered first.
Alone.
Exhausted.
She never approached Isabella.
Then...
The shove.
The impact against the marble.
The second assault.
The kick.
Every angle.
Every movement.
Every word.
Crystal clear.
No edits.
No missing moments.
No possible misunderstanding.
The recording ended.
Nobody spoke.
Marcus slowly turned toward Isabella.
"You lied."
She opened her mouth.
Nothing came out.
Elaine quietly stepped backward.
Several nurses stared at Isabella with open disgust.
Security officers entered the room.
Ethan folded his hands.
"Miss Rossi..."
"You're under hospital detention until police arrive."

For the first time in years...
Isabella Rossi looked genuinely afraid.
