The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 358

"Charles, how can you accuse Wesley of being a rapist without any evidence? Just based on what Dahlia says?" Charles was momentarily taken aback, his expression darkening. The tension in the room was palpable.

Suddenly, Dahlia's tearful voice broke through from behind Charles. She was crying, her words choked with emotion, "Evelyn, I might not have had evidence from seven years ago, but just now, he barged in and assaulted me again."

"If Charles hadn't shown up when he did, I almost... would've been violated by that monster. Look at these marks he left!" As Dahlia spoke, she pulled off the jacket Charles had placed over her shoulders, revealing her nightgown, torn and disheveled, as well as the marks she had coaxed Wesley into leaving on her neck. They looked alarming.

Wesley's eyes were bloodshot, staring at those marks that he always thought of as signs of their affection. He never imagined that Dahlia would one day use them to accuse him of rape. The betrayal by the woman he loved felt like a stab to the heart. He looked at the changed Dahlia, speechless. His lips moved to deny it, but no words came out.
