Part 4 – The Secret Behind the Attack
Part 4 – The Secret Behind the Attack
Before anyone could speak again, Vincent Hale entered the ballroom carrying a folder.
His face was grim.
"Boss."
"We found the man who lied to Maren."
Vincent looked down.
"It was me."
"I told her you were dead."
Maren stared at him in disbelief.
"Why?"
Vincent swallowed hard.
"Because someone inside the organization sold information about your relationship."
"The people who attacked your convoy knew about her."
"If they had found out she was carrying your child..."
"They would have hunted her."
Damien closed his eyes.
"You should have told me."
"I know."
Vincent answered.
"I chose the wrong way to protect her."
Epilogue
Maren was rushed to the hospital.
After a terrifying night of surgery and observation, the doctor finally smiled.
"Your baby is safe."
Damien stood beside her bed and held her hand.
"I'm never letting you disappear again."
Months later, they welcomed a healthy baby girl.
At the same time, Briarwell Academy launched an independent investigation.
Security footage from another hallway confirmed Chloe had hidden the watch herself before accusing Maren.
Chloe and her friends were expelled.
The headmaster resigned after investigators concluded he had ignored repeated complaints about bullying to protect influential donor families.
Maren never returned to cleaning classrooms.
Instead, she founded a scholarship program for students and staff facing financial hardship, insisting that dignity should never depend on wealth.
One evening, as she watched her daughter sleeping peacefully in Damien's arms, she smiled.
For months, she had believed she was running from the past.
