Chapter 7 - The Fiancée's Panic

An extreme, cinematic close-up focused tightly on Vanessa's face.
Her arrogant, high-society demeanor completely, violently shattered into a million pieces. The heavy crystal champagne glass slipped from her trembling fingers, crashing loudly onto the polished marble floor.
The color entirely drained from her perfectly contoured cheeks, leaving her looking like a terrified ghost.
The reality of Dominic’s secret, legitimate heir had just destroyed her entire life. Five years ago, Vanessa’s cartel father had orchestrated the alliance with Dominic. When Vanessa saw the pregnant, beautiful civilian at the hospital, she realized Claire was a massive threat to the arranged marriage.
Vanessa had ruthlessly lied to Claire, telling her Dominic had ordered a hit on her if she ever returned, forcing the terrified pregnant woman to flee into extreme poverty.
"She's lying!" Vanessa shrieked like a feral coward, completely dropping her sophisticated facade in front of the entire ballroom. She pointed aggressively at Claire. "She's a gold-digging whore! She hired that brat to extort you, Dominic! I never saw her in my life!"
Dominic slowly stood up from the marble floor.
The broken, devastated father completely vanished. The cold, demonic, calculating apex predator fully awakened.
