A car came barreling toward them, out of control. In an instant, Sienna’s expression changed. She shouted, “Ellie, watch out—”
With all her strength, she pushed Elena aside, stepping directly into the car’s path.
Bam!
As Sienna was hit, Elena saw Ethan sprinting toward them, his eyes bloodshot with panic as he yelled for someone to call an ambulance.
He held Sienna tightly in his arms as he carried her away, not sparing Elena even a glance.
Elena’s initial fear and shock gradually gave way to bitter self-mockery. So this was how it was—no matter how much fondness Ethan might have shown her, the most important person in his heart was still Sienna.
The contract had only promised that she could win Ethan’s affection. It had never guaranteed that he wouldn’t marry Sienna.
In the cold, sterile hallway of the hospital, Elena curled up on a bench, waiting outside the room.
Though Sienna had taken a hard fall, the car had braked just in time. She wasn’t seriously injured, only shaken from the experience.
The incident at the gates of the Scott Family estate left the entire family furious.
Esther stormed into the hospital, her anger blazing. Without warning, she slapped Elena hard across the face.
