The sound echoed through the room like an alarm.
Amelia desperately grabbed the table, trying to remain standing.
But her body was already beginning to give way.
Victoria watched her struggle.
And instead of stepping away…
she moved closer.
The jealousy disappeared from her face.
So did the carefully maintained mask.
What remained was something colder.
Something cruel.
Her stiletto struck Amelia’s side.
The force sent the pregnant woman collapsing onto the floor.
Pain exploded through her body.
Her breath disappeared.
For several terrifying seconds, Amelia couldn’t even scream.
She didn’t think about revenge.
She didn’t think about Victoria.
She only thought about her baby.
Her arms wrapped tightly around her stomach as tears filled her eyes.
Then
The door flew open.
“Amelia!”
Daniel Hart stood frozen in the doorway.
Still wearing the black tuxedo from the gala, the billionaire businessman stared at the scene before him.
Behind him, event coordinator Samantha Reed stopped dead in her tracks.
Nobody spoke.
Nobody moved.
The room looked like a disaster frozen in time.
Amelia was lying on the marble floor, her white silk maternity dress wrinkled and stained.
Victoria stood above her in the crimson gown, breathing heavily.
Broken crystal pieces glittered beneath the chandelier.
Daniel’s eyes moved from his wife…
to Victoria.
And in that instant, he understood.
This wasn’t an argument.
It wasn’t a misunderstanding.
It was an attack.
But before anyone could speak, Victoria suddenly changed.
The cruelty vanished from her face.
Her eyes filled with tears.
Her hands began trembling.
She looked frightened.
“She attacked me,” Victoria whispered.
She pointed toward Amelia.
“I was only defending myself.”
Her voice was soft.
Convincing.
Almost perfectly rehearsed.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
Some people believed her.
Others didn’t know what to believe.
But none of them knew the truth yet.
Because hidden above them…
the hospital’s security cameras had recorded everything.
Every step.
Every word.
Every moment of betrayal.
And the person rushing toward the private suite wasn’t simply another hospital employee.
He was Amelia’s uncle.
A powerful man with the connections and resources to expose every lie Victoria had carefully constructed.
Within minutes, the truth would come out.
The fake tears would disappear.
The false accusations would collapse.
And everyone who believed they could destroy a billionaire’s family without consequences…
would discover the one thing they never expected:
Amelia Hart was not alone.
