Chapter 5 - The Mistress's Panic
Vanessa physically froze in the hospital corridor.
Dante’s piercing brown eyes locked onto her, entirely devoid of any human mercy. The man she had manipulated for six months was gone. In his place stood an apex predator who had just discovered a venomous snake sleeping in his house.
"Dante, darling, don't look at me like that," Vanessa stammered, her voice shrill and breathless as she desperately tried to maintain her glamorous facade. "She's sick! She put that ridiculous outfit on herself to manipulate you! I've been taking perfect care of her!"
Dante didn't blink. He slowly reached into the inner pocket of his tailored black suit and pulled out his encrypted smartphone.
"Dr. Harrison," Dante asked quietly, never breaking eye contact with Vanessa. "Who was the primary physician assigned to my wife's prenatal care?"
"A Dr. Aris Thorne, sir," Dr. Harrison replied, checking his tablet. "Though I cannot find his medical license anywhere in the national registry."
Dante’s sharp jawline locked into titanium. Vanessa had completely fabricated a fake doctor to isolate Emily, forge medical reports, and hide the existence of the twins. She wanted to ensure Dante only expected one child, making it incredibly easy to steal one of the twins to secure her own permanent place in the mafia empire.
Vanessa realized her brilliant assassination and kidnapping plot had just violently unraveled.
