Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 18

Whitney stood rooted to the spot, confused by his odd reaction

It was a song she had composed a long time ago

The man squinted his deepset eyes, remembering the girl who had saved him. To calm his hysterical fits, she had hummed a soothing lullaby while performing acupuncture, which closely resembled this tune

Suddenly, he asked again, Are you trained in medicine?” 

Whitney frowned. She had promised her mother to keep her knowledge of medicine a secret for selfpreservation, so she had not revealed it to anyone except Tiana

But why would he ask that

No,she denied instinctively

The profound ripples in the man’s eyes faded away

He ended the conversation. You should get some sleep. Leave everything else to me.” 

Whitney was left with several questions in her mind but did not dwell on them, simply nodding her head

In the study

The man removed his mask to reveal a face of stunning beauty, his expression laced with deadly intent. He called Nolan, his voice icy, Here’s your chance to make amends. Take Whitney’s father and stepmother and beat them senseless. They dare to harm my child without realizing who I am.” 

Huh? Ludwik, what did I do wrong?Nolan was utterly perplexed

She was meeting Preston tonight. You misled me, made me misunderstand herJust get it done!” 

The man hung up the phone, still fuming

At the same time, in the bedroom

Lying on her side, Whitney could not sleep due to the bruises on her back. Then, Tiana called her via video

In a panic, Tiana asked, Whitney, I heard you were beaten up by some guys at the Imperial Garden Bar. What happened? Are you hurt?” 

Remembering the night’s harrowing events, Whitney instinctively touched her stomach and recounted the 

ordeal

Tiana was livid. Is Preston even human? He doesn’t deserve to be a father! Monica framed you with a false pregnancy scare, and you were only defending yourself. Yet, he wanted to beat you to cause a miscarriage, all to vent Monica’s anger!” 

Whitney shivered, her eyes narrowing. Yvonne put him up to it. Monica wanted revenge. She released the video to cover up her own embarrassment with the scandal of my miscarriage and to stop me from entering the 

competition.” 

That’s outrageous, just watch me!Tiana roared
