Chapter 11 - Turning on Each Other
"I didn't know anything!" Patrick screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice high-pitched and pathetic as he backed away from her like she was a venomous snake. "I had no idea she had poison! Clara, I swear on my life, I love you! She manipulated me! She forced me into everything!"
Clara looked at him with profound, unwavering disgust. "You never loved me, Patrick. You loved my father's money. You loved the executive penthouse. You loved the power. But you never cared about me, and you certainly never cared about Lily."

Blood stained the fabric, but he didn't care. Tears streamed down his pale cheeks as he wept openly in front of his board members and peers. "Give me one more chance! Think of our family! Think of our daughter!"
