Her mother’s cries echoed through the wind, but the car sped faster and faster.
Moments later, all that was left of her mother was a mangled, bloody mess on the road.
Watching that, Hazel broke down. She called the police and rushed to the scene as fast as she could.
But by the time she arrived, Caroline was gone. Only her mother lay there on the cold asphalt, barely breathing.
Hazel didn’t stop to think. She carried her mother to the nearest hospital, but when she handed over her mother’s ID, the doctor shook his head.
“Sorry. We can’t admit her. Miss Summers has given strict orders.”
Because of that, she tried another hospital, a total of five, but every single one turned her away.
Hopelessness clawed at her chest. With nowhere else to go, she went to the only person who could help, Dominic.
But at that very moment, Dominic was hosting Caroline’s lavish birthday party.
He’d ordered a custom cake worth over a hundred grand and filled the entire villa with gifts for her. Influential guests, celebrities, and business elites were all there to wish Caroline a happy birthday.
