If Alice was clueless, maybe she really would’ve agreed. Maybe she would’ve gone along with it, blindly trusting the man who had ruined her.

But she wasn’t clueless anymore. She knew now. She knew David had been playing her all these years- manipulating, deceiving, slowly tearing her life apart. And now he wanted to use her money to save the daughter he had with another woman?

The fury surged through her like fire in her veins. Her face turned a deep, furious red, and she gave off the raw, dangerous energy of a wild animal ready to strike.

Without thinking, she shoved her wheelchair forward and raced right at him. She didn’t hesitate. Her hand flew up and cracked across his face with everything she had.

“David, you bastard!” she screamed. Her voice was hoarse, like each word scraped its way out of her throat.

“You lied to me for years. You took my father from me. You ruined my son. You tore my daughter away. You even stole my kidney! And now you want me to save your bastard daughter with that other woman? You’re lower than dirt. I swear–I will kill you!”

She lashed out, arms flailing, completely consumed by rage. At that moment, she didn’t care about dignity or control–she just wanted him to suffer. To feel even a fraction of what he’d made her endure.

The hospital room glowed with cold, piercing white light, giving everything a harsh, almost unreal edge.

Alice looked unhinged. Her hair was tangled, her expression feral. Her bloodshot eyes burned with rage as she launched herself at David. Her hands twisted like talons, going straight for his face while she cursed through gritted teeth.

“David, you soulless bastard, I’m done with you!” she screamed, her voice raw and breaking.

She wasn’t just angry–she was gutted. Her whole world had collapsed.

For thirty years, she had loved him fully, quietly, without pause. Even when their daughter went missing because of his so–called accident, she didn’t scream or blame him. She just cried in silence, night after night, tucked into the dark, letting the grief fester in silence.

But what did he do with her love? He burned it to the ground. He destroyed their home, broke her completely, and dragged her family into ruin.

How could someone do that and still look me in the eye?

David hissed through his teeth as her nails tore into his face.

He tried to restrain her, grabbing her wrists, but she wasn’t the same woman he thought he could control. She was a hurricane of fury. He could barely keep her off him.

Scratch after scratch opened across his face, blood slowly trailing down.

“Alice, have you lost your damn mind!” he roared, panicking as she came at him with everything she had.

“Crazy? Oh, I’m crazy, alright!” Alice’s laughter rang out, wild and full of hurt. It was the kind of laugh that came from rock bottom.

David’s eyes darted nervously. He hadn’t seen this coming–not in a million years. He had no idea Alice had found out the truth about what happened back then.

But he slipped back into his old act fast. His face shifted into fake confusion, eyebrows raised like he didn’t have a clue. “What are you talking about? I honestly don’t understand a word you’re saying.”

That lie was gasoline on fire. Alice’s fury boiled over, her body shaking with rage.

Without hesitation, she hurled the papers in her hand straight at him, hitting him full in the face.

“Here. This is your proof. Still wanna pretend you don’t know?” Her voice trembled as she spoke, tears glimmering in her eyes, but it wasn’t weakness. It was rage. Deep and sharp.

David’s eyes landed on the papers, and his heart just stopped.

Everything he thought was long buried–every secret, every crime he believed would stay in the dark–was now right in front of him, staring back with sharp teeth.

He went pale instantly. His skin turned ghost–white. He stood frozen like a man who’d just seen his own death, unable to move, unable to look away. Just staring.
