As Mavis made her way to the bathroom, she paused and turned back to Harlan.

“Do you know what they would have done toif I’d refused to tell them what they wanted?” she asked.

Harlan averted his gaze, pushing away the thoughts that her question had provoked. Whatever might have happened to her was of no concern to him. The only thing that mattered was the peril Derek faced due to Mavis’ actions.

Harlan sneered.

“So, you really said that?”

Frustrated, Mavis shook her head and headed straight for the lady’s room.

She took a few steps forward, then looked back at the door. Just as she had anticipated, Harlan was stationed by the bathroom’s entrance.

“Harlan, I really didn’t tell them. Why don’t you believe me?”

Subconsciously, her hand went to her bruised belly, the memories of that terrible day flooding back.

“I… Say it. Ccloser, and I’ll tell you.”

“You’re scared now,” the man taunted.

Predictably, the man squatted down and brought his ear closer, only for her to bite it with all her might.

The man’s scream of pain filled the air, and his companions rushed over to her, landing punches and kicks.

“Bitch, stop,” one of them yelled, but the pain fueling her body seemed to drown out everything else. She wouldn’t let go, wouldn’t yield.

Her fortune turned when her father’s protective men arrived on the scene, breaking in and rescuing her.

Meanwhile, Harlan remained at the door, his eyes fixed on the clock.

Three minutes had ticked by, and Mavis had not emerged. Patiently, he waited another two minutes, but still no sign of her.

A sinking feeling settled in his gut. Something had happened. With a sense of urgency, he strode into the lady’s room only to find it vacant.

His eyes caught the open window, and the stool positioned conveniently beneath it.

With a cry of frustration, Harlan’s fist met the wall.

“Mavis!”

Outside, Mavis was already on the move, having slipped out of the bathroom window. Nervously, she sprinted away from the hospital’s back door. More than ever, she was determined to prove her innocence.

Mavis had managed to escape, leaving Harlan to return to the garage alone, his face etched with frustration.

Marcus turned to him.
