Chapter 1: The Truth No One Could Escape
The silence inside the hospital suite lasted only a few seconds.
Then the doors burst open again.
Doctors.
Nurses.
Security officers.
And leading them all was Hospital Director Richard Hale.
The moment Richard saw Khloe curled on the marble floor with one hand protecting her stomach, every trace of professional composure disappeared.
"Khloe!"
He rushed across the room while doctors immediately surrounded her.
Marcus stepped aside, his face pale.
"What happened?" Richard demanded.
Before anyone answered, Isabella broke into loud sobs.
"She attacked me first! I only defended myself!"
Richard didn't even look at her.
He carefully examined the bruises already darkening across Khloe's side.
Blood stained the white silk beneath her.
The room grew deathly quiet.
"Prepare the operating room," Richard ordered.
"No one leaves this floor."
As nurses wheeled Khloe toward emergency surgery, Marcus reached for her trembling hand.
"I'm here."
Khloe looked into his eyes.
Tears rolled silently down her face.
"Protect our baby..."
The elevator doors closed.
Marcus slowly turned around.
His expression had become frighteningly calm.
He looked directly at Isabella.
"You have exactly one chance."
"Tell me the truth."
She kept crying.
"I've already told you!"
Marcus said nothing.
Richard's assistant entered carrying a tablet.
"Director..."
"The security department has already secured the hallway recordings."
"And the cameras inside Suite Twelve were active."

Every face in the room slowly turned toward the screen.
Isabella's breathing stopped.
