I didn't understand. Time and again, I tried to get justice for Eustace.
But every single time, Sabina had shut me down with that sharp, authoritative tone of hers.
"Stop making a scene! Digging into this isn't helping her. You're only going to cause secondary trauma!"
Now, staring at the surveillance footage on my screen, watching Sabina tangled up with Eustace, the two of them bursting through the supply room door in a frenzy, my chest seized with a pain I couldn't control.
So it was true. Exactly what I'd suspected all along.
Eustace had never been assaulted. He'd been having an affair with her.
I dragged the video timeline forward, and something unbelievable flashed across the screen.
My pupils blew wide.
After a long silence, a bitter laugh tore out of me before I could stop it.
Sabina.
Did you have any idea that your self-righteous "protection" had made you someone else's fall guy?
My phone chimed relentlessly with Sabina's messages urging me to hurry. I buried the storm inside me and typed back a calm reply.
"Fine. I'll be there."
I wasn't going to clear their names. I was going to deliver the hardest blow of their lives.
