Crossroads
Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Dominick reclined against the car, adopting a leisurely posture. His eyes, partially veiled, lazily traced patterns on the car window with hist Fingertips, as if indifferent to the world around him.
“Not only did you deceive him, but you also orchestrated a plan to harm him in ways that he could never fathom…”
With each chilly, sonorous syllable, Claire’s complexion paled, as if the weight of Dominick’s words pressed upon her soul.
“No, that’s not true,” she protested, her lips trembling in denial.
“Stop your baseless accusations!”
Claire’s agitation grew, a mounting sense of dread and unease enveloping her in the confined space of the car. Desperately, she grasped at the door handle, wanting to escape.
But the door remained locked, trapping her within.
Dominick, disdain evident in his gaze, opened his eyes fully, fixing Claire with an unwavering stare through the rearview mirror.
“Ms. Peterson, according to this hospital report, you’re medically incapable of bearing children. So, may I ask, where did your daughter come
from?”
He casually tossed a bundle of papers toward her, his eyes ablaze with contempt and impatience. “While your daughter is truly related to the Nelson family, the DNA test shows that you’re not her mother…
“You first planned to get Kevin into legal trouble, then sought your brother–in–law’s help to save him, hoping to earn his gratitude so you could marry him and become part of the wealthy Nelson family. But Stella’s insistence that he marry another woman thwarted your plans. So you patiently bided your time abroad, waiting for the right moment to return with his daughter…”
“No! That’s not it”
With these accusations, Claire’s heart pounded with fear and apprehension.
‘No… he couldn’t possibly know,” she tried to comfort herself
Her thoughts spun in disarray.
This long–buried secret was unknown even to her sister, Courtney, so how could Dominick know about it so well?
Could it be that fateful year, he…
Startled, Claire looked up, meeting Dominick’s inscrutable and forbidding eyes in the rearview mirror.
Claire’s mind was in a mess, while she was drowning in fear and anxiety
The incessant ringing of her phone in her pocket jolted Claire back to the present.
Realizing she had been summarily dismissed from the car by Dominick, she turned her gaze toward the highway, where his vehicle had vanished into the distance, leaving her heart racing uncontrollably.
“Claire, are you alright?”
As the call connected, Courtney’s voice crackled with concern and urgency. “Why did Dominick look for you out of the blue?”
