Chapter 24: The Confrontation

The word “child” flashed through my mind like lightning. Oliver Rivers‘ face immediately appeared in my thoughts.

I couldn’t think of any other reason that would make Marcus lose control like this. His accusation about

sensation on my cheek.

Marcus grabbed my wrist with brutal force. His fingers dug into my skin like iron clamps.

Marcus’s face twisted with disbelief. “You’re lying. Sophia is his mother – she would certainly know about his

His accusation cut deeper than any physical wound. The certainty in his voice showed he had already decided I was guilty.
