"!"
Alexander Johnson finished speaking, leaving Chloe Simpson thunderstruck, with no reaction whatsoever.
Everything that had happened since the wedding night played out like a movie scene after scene before her eyes.
She turned her head once more to look at Lucas Hughes, lying on the ground.
Thinking about the bits and pieces she shared with Lucas over the past five years.
"Chloe, do you believe me? We've been together for five years, you know better than anyone how I've treated you in these years, don't you? How could I ever do anything to hurt you?"
Lucas Hughes saw Chloe frozen in place and quickly spoke up.
"Yes! Alexander Johnson, don't spew nonsense here. Lucas loves me deeply, he would never hurt me! Besides, it was you who hurt him, making him no longer a man, yet you are here twisting the facts."
"I tell you, no matter what you say today, I will not believe you. Even if it means going down together with you, I will never let you hurt Lucas again!"
