“What do you mean, Clara?” Dominic asked, stepping closer to her. “Where did you get Judge Vance’s private records?”
Clara took a slow, deep breath, pulling back her dark wavy hair.
“My real name is Dr. Clara Reed,” she revealed softly, her voice filled with quiet, dignified pride. “I am a board-certified pediatric neuro-trauma specialist from Johns Hopkins Hospital.”
Dominic gasped softly, his eyes widening in complete shock.
“Two years ago, my younger sister was hired as a junior nanny by Judge Vance’s family,” Clara explained, her eyes darkening with remembered pain. “She discovered Evelyn’s illegal sedative ring, but before she could report it, Judge Vance revoked her medical license and bankrupted our family to silence her.”
Clara laid the brown legal envelope on the mahogany desk.

👉 Dominic stared at the brilliant, courageous woman standing before him, his heart hammering with overwhelming awe.
