Chapter 2: The Woman Everyone Judged
Chapter 2: The Woman Everyone Judged
Two police officers entered the mansion.
The employees watched as they searched Rosaās small handbag.
Her old wallet.
Her simple clothes.
Everything she owned.
Rosa stood there, fighting tears.
āI didnāt steal anything.ā
Nobody answered.
Because in that momentā¦
Everyone believed the rich woman.
Not the maid.
Veronica watched proudly from the sofa.
She had planned everything perfectly.
If Rosa was arrestedā¦
She would disappear from the mansion forever.
And no one would ever discover the truth.
The officer reached for his handcuffs.
Rosa closed her eyes.
She thought about Mateo.
She thought about how scared he would be if he saw his mother being taken away.
Then suddenlyā¦
A small voice stopped everything.
āDonāt take her.ā
Everyone turned.
Standing at the top of the staircase was Lucas.
Veronicaās seven-year-old son.
His face was pale.
His hands were shaking.
But he walked downstairs anyway.
Veronica immediately stood.
āLucas. Go upstairs.ā
The boy looked at his mother.
āNo.ā
The entire mansion froze.
āI donāt want to lie anymore.ā
Veronicaās expression changed.
May you like
For the first timeā¦
She looked afraid.
