With that enigmatic proclamation, Fiona relinquished her hold on Millie, allowing
herself to tumble down the steps.
“Fiona.” Leon bore witness to the spectacle and promptly emerged from the car.
Millie was momentarily caught off guard.
“Fiona.” Leon hurried over, helping Fiona to her feet.
Fiona winced in pain, her gaze partially veiled. “It hurts, Millie... She pushed me.”
Millie stood rooted. She had not shoved Fiona; Fiona had purposefully
orchestrated her own fall.
Leon's penetrating stare swiveled towards Millie, its intensity piercing her to the
core. A pang of anguish surged through her at that gaze. Fiona had triumphed;
for riches and prestige, she was willing to wager her very life.
Millie had woefully underestimated the lengths to which a woman would go to
fulfil her ambitions.
“I'll rush you to the hospital immediately. Hold on.”
Having settled Fiona in the car, Leon redirected his attention towards Millie.
“Millie, you're merciless. Your reckoning awaits.”
“I didn’t exert force on her. Her fall was self-initiated.”
Leon paid her no heed, pivoting swiftly and driving away. The trail of dust raised

Leon.
