Chapter 2: Every Mask Falls
Chapter 2: Every Mask Falls
The conference room inside Thorne Memorial Hospital was unusually crowded.
Marcus sat at the head of the table.
Daniel stood beside a large screen.
Across from them sat Isabella Rossi, her attorney, several members of the charity foundation, and two police detectives.
Daniel pressed a button.
The recording began.
The video showed Khloe quietly entering the suite.
Minutes later, Isabella followed.
There was no argument.
No attack from Khloe.
Only Isabella walking closer.
Speaking.
Smiling.
Then shoving Khloe backward.
The second push was even harder.
Finally came the kick.
The sound of Isabella's heel striking Khloe echoed through the silent room.
Nobody spoke.
The footage continued.
Khloe never raised her hand.
She never fought back.
She only protected her unborn child.
When the recording ended, the silence was heavier than before.
One detective closed his notebook.
"Ms. Rossi, you are under investigation for aggravated assault on a pregnant woman."
Her lawyer tried to interrupt.
Daniel played another recording.
This time it came from the hallway.
It revealed Isabella speaking on the phone before entering the suite.
"I don't care what happens."
"Once she loses that baby, Marcus will never forgive her."
Every person in the room stared at Isabella.
Her carefully crafted reputation collapsed in seconds.
Marcus finally spoke.
"I trusted you."
"You smiled at my wife."
"You attended our charity events."
"You held our hands while planning our child's baby shower."
"And all along..."
"You were planning this."
Isabella lowered her head.
For the first time, she had no performance left.
The police officers approached.
One of them gently placed handcuffs around her wrists.
As she was escorted away, reporters outside had already received the leaked security footage.
Within hours, every major news network carried the same headline.
Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Attacked Inside Luxury Hospital.
The world now knew the truth.

But Marcus cared about only one thing.
Whether Khloe and their child would survive.
