(The Unkept Promise) Chapter 15
Menu
“Shut up! You’re nothing but a distraction. You’re not even in the same
league as Amy.” His voice dripped with contempt.“And the baby? I can have as
many children as I want.”
“Someone take her to the hospital. Terminate the pregnancy.”
Panic seized Bethany. She clutched her stomach. This was her only leverage,
her ticket to security. She couldn’t lose this baby!
She ran towards the crowd. They’ll help me! They promised to protect me!
Silas waved his hand, signaling the guards to stand down. He watched her,
his eyes cold and calculating, like a predator watching its prey.
Bethany’s hope quickly turned to despair. The crowd, once fueled by blind
rage, had come to their senses. Silas’s name and reputation preceded him.
Everyone knew Silas Sterling and Diamond Empire Group. His devotion to
Amelia was legendary, a frequent topic of conversation, even among strangers.
They recognized him. And they realized that the influencer they’d been so quick to defend was his mistress. The image of the perfect couple shattered. And they were furious. Bethany had manipulated them, used their sympathy, painted
Amelia as the villain.
