Rylie was wheeled out, her eyes brimming with tears. Millie approached her,
baby in arms.
“Congratulations, Rylie! Meet your son. He's the picture of health.”
“Hey, little guy,” Rylie greeted, her voice trembling with emotion.
The loneliness and struggles of the past several months flooded her thoughts.
She had navigated this difficult journey without a partner by her side, and the
weight of it all had worn her down. In her weakest moments, she would find
solace in laughter, seeking out comedy to lift her spirits.
She knew that a mother’s sadness could leave an indelible mark on her child, so
she refused to let herself succumb to sorrow.
Ensuring the baby’s safe arrival, Marcus spoke with the hospital director about
giving extra attention to Rylie. Then he hurried off to his workplace.
Millie stayed until the moon took over the sky.
Finally stepping out of the hospital, she collided with another person. A closer
look revealed it was Rhea, visibly distressed, her hands stained with blood.
Rhea locked eyes with Millie, a flicker of something unreadable crossing her
features before she bolted into the hospital.
Earlier, Gianni had blackmailed her with the compromising footage, demanding
her company at a hotel.
Weighing her options, Rhea had hatched a plan: she would feign agreement, get
him in the shower, and make her move.
ANGELA'SLIBRARY
After all, people tend to react more slowly when they're vulnerable.
While Gianni was in the shower, she seized the opportunity. Slipping a knife into
the bathroom, she held it to his neck and demanded the video. She knew he
would fear for his life, and she was right. His demeanor shifted instantly. Claiming
he needed his phone to delete the video, he said he would step outside to make
the call.
But fortune is fickle. As they emerged from the bathroom, Rhea lost her footing,
the knife veering away from Gianni's neck. Seizing his moment, Gianni wrenched
the knife from her grip. A frantic struggle ensued, and Rhea found herself with a
blade in her abdomen.
Staring at the blood, even Gianni went pale. Rhea clutched her wound and made
her escape, feet pounding on the pavement.
Lucky for her, the hospital stood like a beacon just across from the hotel.
Millie, who had witnessed Rhea'’s sprint into the hospital, furrowed her brows,
sensing something was seriously amiss.
Shaking off the troubling sight, Millie hailed a taxi and headed home.
Inside, the living room lights were on, but the place felt deserted.
