The mansion went dead silent after Mitchell spoke.
"Dorian…"
The name landed like a bomb.
Nobody moved for a second.
Not Sebastian. Not Vivian. Not Vale.
Even the officers standing around her seemed stunned.
Mitchell sat shaking violently on the floor, blood staining the side of her uniform. Her breathing came unevenly, eyes swollen from fear and exhaustion.
She looked nothing like the composed nurse from the footage anymore.
She looked hunted.
Vale stepped forward first.
Fast.Dangerous.
His collar was already in his fist before anyone reacted."You used my son like a transaction?" he roared.
Mitchell screamed instantly.
"I didn't want to do it!""Liar!" Vale thundered.
The officers quickly dragged him back before he crushed her completely.
The room exploded into chaos.
"Sir!" "Calm down!" "Mr. Vale!"
But Vale had completely lost control now.
"Over four months—" His voice cracked violently.
"FOUR MONTHS YOU PEOPLE PLAYED WITH MY CHILD!"
