Chapter 7
Hill same
Stella and Bella cried out, rushing to her side at the same time.
Stella grabbed Sophia’s slender shoulders, her voice filled with fury.
“Damian’s a monster! Pushing his own wife for her sister. What kind of man does that? Sophia, your hand’s bleeding everywhere. We’re going to the hospital. Now.”
Bella stomped her foot in anger, tears of distress streaming
down her face.
“He’s such an asshole. What the hell does Isabelle have that’s got him this whipped?”
Sophia stared at the empty doorway, her heart feeling like a gaping, bleeding wound.
Her eyes welled with tears and her mind buzzed. A bitter taste filled her throat, leaving her too choked up to speak.
Outside, Lucas was still dealing with Nina. Weston was at the door when he saw Damian storming off with Isabelle in his arms, his face dark.
Sensing trouble, he hurried back into the room to find the three women standing there, looking lost.

Seeing him, Stella snapped, “What are you doing back here? Done being Isabelle’s lapdog?”
Weston laughed in fury. “Since when have I ever been her lapdog? Sophia is hurt. We need to get her to a hospital.”
Stella was about to snap back when Sophia squinted and mumbled, “My head hurts…”
Then she collapsed forward.
“Sophia!” Stella lunged, but someone was faster–scooping Sophia up and bolting for the door. “Now. Hospital. Move.”
They raced to Mercy Grace Hospital, a top private facility, and went straight to the emergency room.
The on–call doctor walked in wearing a mask, his eyes landing on the flushed woman in the bed.
He froze, his heart pounding.
How is it her?
Seconds ticked by, but the doctor didn’t move,
Stella couldn’t take it. “Doctor? Can you please see what’s wrong
with her?”
He snapped out of it, clearing his throat awkwardly. 2/6

“Can you tell me what happened before she passed out?”
Stella and Bella both rushed to explain the night’s events.
His brow furrowed as he listened,
He leaned over and quickly turned Sophia’s head to the side.
He checked her throat with a tongue depressor and flashlight, then took her blood pressure.
After finishing, he turned to them. “No vomit in her airway. Her blood pressure’s low. It’s mild alcohol poisoning. I’ll treat her wound now. Please wait outside.”
Stella was about to insist on staying, but Bella bumped into her while trying to get a better look.
“Ouch,” Stella cried out, realizing her back was also hurt from her fall earlier.
“Are you okay?” Bella quickly steadied her. “Did Damian hurt you when he pushed past?”
Stella bit her lip and shook her head. “I’m fine. Probably just a bruise.”
Bella’s heart sank. Before she could speak, Weston frowned and grabbed Stella’s hand.

“We’re already at the hospital. Get yourself checked out too.”
Stella yanked her hand away like he was diseased. Her voice came out sharp, furious.
“Get your filthy hands off me! Stop playing the good guy. It’s disgusting.
“You, Damian, Lucas–you’re all the same. You get off on messing with women’s feelings. A bunch of shameless scumbags.”
Weston’s face went cold. His eyes darkened.
“Stella, I was being nice because you’re hurt. And this is what I get? You know slander’s illegal, right? I could sue you for defamation.”
“Who needs your pity?” Stella crossed her arms, voice ice–cold.
“Go ahead and sue. I’ll blast Damian and Isabelle
dirty little secret all over the internet. Let’s see who gets humiliated.
“The Andersons raised a homewrecker who goes after her own sister’s husband. Think that’ll break the internet?”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Weston didn’t expect Stella to push back, He leaned in with a cold smirk. “Run your mouth and I’ll blacklist you across every platform.”

“On what grounds?” Stella’s eyes went red.
She was a nobody in the industry barely scraping by.
