And then—Hubert's phone rang.

The caller was Lianna.

He answered instantly, only to be met with her sobbing voice, "Hubby... I... I lost the baby..."

Hubert's eyes reddened in an instant. "What happened?!"

Lianna stammered between tears, "It was Celestine... She insisted on going to a hotel with a bunch of male models. I tried to stop her, but she pushed me down... she's the reason I miscarried!"

Her words made the crowd gasp.

As for me, standing at the very heart of the storm—I finally let out a long, shaky breath.

It's starting. The end has finally come.
