Cold sweat seeped from every pore. I forced each word through gritted teeth. "She has seventeen different men saved in her phone—guys she's been flirting with. Last week alone, she checked into hotels with three of them. Call Dr. Grant Abbott Abbott right now. Ask him just how dangerous that kind of lifestyle really is."
"Lies!" Sophie shrieked. "You're framing me!"
The tears came instantly, streaming down her cheeks as she crumpled into Rhys's arms.
"Rhys," she sobbed, "she's gone too far. She's using her position at this hospital to forge documents and slander me."
"You know I've always been with you. How could I possibly be with other men? How could I have contracted anything?"
"Rhys, are you really going to let her bully me like this? You have to make her pay..."
With every word of her accusation, Rhys's expression darkened further. "Drag her to the underground freezer. No one releases her without my explicit order."
The bodyguards seized my arms and hauled me toward the fire escape.
I struggled, but their grip only tightened. Pain shot through my body until even the stairs seemed to pitch and sway before my eyes.
"Rhys Abbott! Ignore what I've told you and you'll regret it."
