Past

Valerie's eyes fluttered open, jolting her awake from the haunting nightmare. The same scene replayed in her mind—the brutal torture of the man by Dominic, the gunshot, and the lifeless body drenched in sweat. She couldn't shake off the vivid images, now etched in her memory.

As she stirred, a sharp pain stabbed through her abdomen. Valerie's gaze fell upon the bed, where bloodstains marred the sheets. Panic set in.

With great effort, Valerie summoned Dominic and her head maid. Her phone lay out of reach.

Gathering her strength, Valerie edged off the bed, her movements labored. Agonizing pain coursed through her lower abdomen.

A sticky fluid trickled down her thighs. Fear gripped Valerie.

Summoning courage, Valerie tentatively touched the area, her hands coming away blood-soaked.

Horrified, Valerie struggled to descend the stairs, her legs trembling. Blood streamed down her legs, causing her feet to slip.

Valerie's world darkened, her vision fading to black as she collapsed.

    Valerie's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to Dominic's past. She couldn't imagine the pain and betrayal he had endured. John, who had been standing quietly by, finally spoke up."People aren't born heartless; they become that way for a reason," he said, his voice low and contemplative.
