Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

“Who?”

“Selah Potter.

”

Arturo’s good looks stiffened for a moment.

Domenic clapped him on the back, saying, “The matter you want to know about should have results soon.

”

Shelia escorted Kendra all the way home.

The moment Kendra stepped inside, Benny struck her hard.

She fell to the floor, her hair a tangled veil over her face.

A trickle of red blood stained her pale Lips.

“Dad! Why did you hit Mom?” Shelia exclaimed, stunned.

Benny’s pent-up fury erupted.

He glared at Kendra on the floor and demanded, “Out with it, Kendra! What really happened tonight? Did you conspire with the waiter to spike the drink, trying to lose the baby and pin it on Lindsey?”

“Dad, what are you saying? Mom’s carrying your baby.

She wouldn’t do that!” Shelia argued, reaching to grab Benny’s arm, only to be shrugged off.

“Perhaps Lindsey’s right.

Maybe that child isn’t mine.

Tell me, what’s going on between you and Chayce? Are you cheating on me?”

Kendra dashed to Benny and clutched at his trousers, tears streaming down her face as she yelled, “Benny, Lindsey’s accusing me of things I didn’t do.

How could you take her word over mine? I’m at a loss about tonight’s events.

It seems like Lindsey orchestrated this mess just to drive a wedge between us.

She’s pulled off stunts like this before, you know!”

Benny pushed her back, a frosty look in his eyes.

“Aren’t you the own who organized the party tonight? Didn’t you hire the waiters?

You’re pointing fingers at Lindsey for everything.

Are you really that innocent?”

Kendra was at a loss for how she’d lost Benny’s trust.

But with Shelia marrying into the Perry family soon, giving her a way out, Kendra didn’t have to cling to her title as Mrs.

Stewart.

But now, she wasn’t ready to let go.

Her gaze landed on the edge of the round table.

With a heavy heart and tears in her eyes, she looked at Benny and cried out, “If you doubt me this much, I might as well be dead!”

With those words, she lunged toward the table corner, striking her forehead against it.

Suddenly, a red wound was slashed open, pouring out blood.

Benny froze, shocked by her rash action.

Shelia hurried to Kendra, helping her up, and turned to Benny, tears in her eyes, “Dad, can’t you see mom’s at her breaking point, and you’re still accusing her? If you let her die, Lindsey will have won.

She wants to see the end of both mom and me!”

Benny’s thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion, unable to discern the truth from the lies.

Seeing Benny hesitate, Shelia’s frustration and worry boiled over.

She screamed at him, “Dad, what are you doing? Call an ambulance, now!”
