Chapter 4
The chlorine in the swimming pool hit my lungs like acid. My throat was on fire as I sank to the bottom.[]
When I came back to my sense, I was lying alone on the wet pool deck.]
The party was over. Everyone gone. []
Only a maid came over and handed me my buzzing phone.[]
I answered it.
“Sarah.” Cameron’s voice from the end was ice–cold. “Mia’s pregnant. Thanks to your little stunt, she’s having complications. You proud of yourself?“]
I bit my lip hard, my hand drifting to my empty stomach. I’d been pregnant too, not long ago.
Mia’s voice floated through the speaker, sugary sweet. “Cameron, I’m okay now. What do you think of this bracelet? Pretty?“]
“Everything looks beautiful on you.” He answered her, and his gentle tone made me sick.[]
I gripped the phone, chlorine still burning my throat.[]
“Cameron, you knew I’m allergic to chlorine,” I whispered. “You knew it, but you still left me to drown. What if I’d actually died?”
“Sarah!” His voice exploded. “You should’ve known what would happen when you shoved Mia in the pool! Even if it was an act, I had to save her first!”
I almost laughed.]
An act? When he carried Mia away, he didn’t even glance back at me drowning in that pool.]
“Stay home and think about what you did. Once Mia’s stable, I’ll deal with you.” He hung up.
I went back to the bedroom and sent all the staff away.
Then in the next moment, I lit the fireplace and started burning everything Cameron had given me. Jewelry, dresses, photos–all of it.
Last thing I pulled out was that fake marriage certificate.
I thrown it into the fire without any hesitation.
That’s when my phone suddenly buzzed.
A breaking news alert popped up: #Former Heiress Sex Tape Leaked#.[]
The video showed a girl getting assaulted behind a dumpster. [
That girl was me.
“Holy shit, look how pathetic she is!”
The cruel laughter’s voice in the video made my whole body shake.[]
I hurled my phone at the wall. It shattered into pieces.
But those images kept playing in my head on repeat.
I curled up in the corner, shivering even though it was June.[]
Cameron, is this what you wanted?
Watch me completely ruined and suffering worse than death?
1 ran outside barefoot.
Thick fog everywhere. I couldn’t see anything, just kept running like a maniac.[]
e.]]
Suddenly headlights cut through the mist. A black Maybach came straight at me.
“BANG-
The car launched me into the air. I hit the ground hard and everything went dark.[]
