Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

"The truth is, Sophia didn’t push Juliet down the stairs," Jack stated between sobs as he leaned against the wall. "I saw everything from downstairs."

"Just get to the point!" Damien demanded coldly.

Jack said, "Eva and I were at your place that day. Juliet and Sophia got into a heated argument and Juliet... She accidentally fell down the stairs. It wasn’t Sophia’s fault."

Then, he cried and confessed, "Okay, I lied. I purposely framed Sophia... I didn’t speak up for her."

Without saying anything, Damien grabbed Jack’s collar. In a sudden burst of fury, he struck Jack squarely in the face.

Jack’s panic surged as the force of the punch struck him. "Why the hell are you hitting me?" he shouted desperately. "You were the one who doubted her!"

With uncontrollable rage driving him, Damien landed another punch on Jack as if he aimed to kill Jack.

I looked at Violette and asked, "No one’s going to die, right?"

Violette clenched her fists. "Well, Jack deserves it."

I nodded. Jack was unmistakably a scoundrel, and what he did to me would remain etched in my memory forever.

"Damien, why the hell are you still hitting me?" Jack coughed up blood. His agony deepened as he felt the jagged edge of a broken tooth.
