Chapter 249:
“Mirabelle, what did you say to her? She walked out of your studio, and now the baby’s gone—what happened p>
I exhaled, hard and flat.
My chest felt tight from holding it in too long.
“She came by this afternoon, yeah. Stayed maybe ten minutes, max. I didn’t touch her. We barely spoke. Whatever happened after that has fuck-all to do with me p>
Rhys didn’t buy a word of it.
“Cathy’s been completely healthy. She sees you for ten minutes and ends up in the hospital? You had to have said something p>
“Healthy?” She looked pale as hell the second she showed up. For all I know, the miscarriage had already started, and she just needed someone to blame p>
“Bullshit! She only started cramping after she left your place. The timeline lines up. The doctor confirmed it p>
“I didn’t say anything. I p>
“She’s been crying non-stop!” Rhys shouted over my voice. “She told me she went to your studio for a glass of water and you mocked her. You upset her so badly she—” His voice caught.
I dragged a hand down my face.
“So she shows up uninvited, doesn’t drink anything, and now I’m supposed to take the fall because her uterus had a meltdown? If she’s got enough energy to accuse me of murder, she’s got enough to explain it to you herself. Why are you calling me p>
There was a beat of silence, then Rhys mumbled, “She’s weak. She can’t talk right now p>
“Oh, that’s convenient. Can’t talk but managed to give you a full emotional monologue about the mean things I supposedly said? Amazing how her memory works when it suits her p>

“Mirabelle Vance!” Rhys roared. “She’s barely hanging on and you’re still making excuses. Do you even have a heart p>
“I have more than that. I have video. I filmed the whole thing. Bet she didn’t tell you that, did she? I’ll send the video right now. You can both watch and tell me exactly where I murdered your miracle baby p>
I ended the call and tossed my phone on the table.
I’d lost my appetite.
I rang Daniel. “Send me the video from earlier. The one I asked you to record at the studio p>
He forwarded it within seconds.
I hit send to Louisa without bothering to type a message.
“Good thing I had someone record it,” I muttered. “I knew something was off the moment she showed up p>
