Chapter 6 - The Hospital Betrayal
A tight, cinematic close-up captured Claire’s face.
Her beautiful eyes immediately filled with heavy, burning tears of profound agony. For five years, she had worked grueling minimum-wage jobs, struggling to raise their son completely alone, believing the man she loved had thrown her away like garbage.
She had recently been contracted by an elite cleaning agency, having absolutely no idea she was being sent to Dominic’s new mansion until she walked through the doors tonight.
Claire pulled Noah tighter against her legs. She didn't look at Dominic.

The heartbroken, submissive maid completely vanished. A cold, terrifying, and fiercely protective anger hardened Claire’s features as she finally realized who Vanessa really was.
"You didn't just leave," Claire whispered fiercely, her voice shaking with absolute rage as she looked back at Dominic. "When I found out I was pregnant, I tracked you down to the private hospital after your syndicate war."
Dominic froze. "I was in a coma for two weeks. I never saw you."
